Hexadecanoic acid icosyl ester - Introduction

PALMITIC ACID ARACHIDYL ESTER is a fatty ACID alcohol ESTER. It is made from palmitic acid and arachidyl alcohol by esterification. Its chemical formula is C44H88O2 and its molecular weight is 657.17g/mol. It is a colorless to yellowish solid.

Arachiosyl palmitate is widely used in cosmetics and personal care products. It has excellent lubricity and moisturizing properties and can be used as an ingredient in lotions, creams, hair care products and skin care makeup products such as lipstick. In addition, it can also be used as an additive for fragrances and medicines.

The method for preparing arachidyl palmitate is generally an esterification reaction of palmitic acid and arachidyl alcohol in a suitable solvent. Commonly used solvents are toluene or acetone. The esterification reaction may be driven by the addition of an acid catalyst, such as sulfuric acid or phosphoric acid.

Regarding safety information, arachidyl palmitate is considered a safe chemical, non-toxic and non-irritating. However, people with sensitive skin may have an allergic reaction to it, so be careful when using personal care products.
