Description

n-Hexadec-7-En-1-Yl-D-Gluconamide is a specialized carbohydrate-based surfactant and amide derivative, synthesized from D-gluconic acid and a specific unsaturated fatty amine. This compound matters for its unique amphiphilic structure, which provides excellent surface activity, emulsifying properties, and biocompatibility, making it a valuable non-ionic surfactant in sensitive formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries for creating mild, high-performance products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and serums, valued for its skin-friendly and non-irritating properties.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an excipient in topical drug delivery systems to enhance the solubility and penetration of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Biotechnology & Research: Serves as a mild surfactant in cell culture media and protein stabilization buffers due to its biocompatibility.
• Specialty Detergents & Cleansers: Incorporated into high-end, mild cleansing formulations for sensitive skin, including facial washes and baby products.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent and spreader in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve foliar coverage and efficacy.
