Product Technical Details

Product Overview

Palmitoleic Acid, chemically known as (Z)-9-Hexadecenoic acid, is a rare monounsaturated omega-7 fatty acid that has garnered significant attention in both the cosmetic and nutraceutical industries. As a natural component of macadamia oil and human sebum, this compound offers unique bioactive properties that support skin regeneration and metabolic health. Our manufacturing facility produces high-purity Palmitoleic Acid under strict quality control standards, ensuring consistency for demanding B2B applications.

This essential lipid is characterized by its excellent emollient properties and biological compatibility. Unlike saturated fatty acids, Palmitoleic Acid remains liquid at room temperature, facilitating easier integration into various formulations. We supply this material globally to formulators seeking premium ingredients for anti-aging skincare, therapeutic ointments, and dietary supplements.

Industrial Applications

The versatility of Palmitoleic Acid makes it a valuable asset across multiple sectors. In the cosmetic industry, it is highly prized for its ability to mimic human sebum, providing deep moisturization without leaving a greasy residue. It promotes wound healing and reduces inflammation, making it ideal for sensitive skin formulations and anti-aging serums.

In the nutraceutical sector, Omega-7 fatty acids are utilized for their potential role in supporting lipid metabolism and cardiovascular health. Our material is suitable for encapsulation or inclusion in liquid health supplements. Additionally, it serves as a critical component in pet nutrition and specialized feed additives, enhancing coat quality and overall animal health.
