Palmitoyl glycine
Description
Palmitoyl glycine (CAS 2441-41-0 ) is a fatty acid-amino acid conjugate derived from palmitic acid and glycine, used in personal care formulations as a mild surfactant and skin-conditioning agent. Its acyl amino acid structure positions it as a functional ingredient where both surface activity and compatibility with biological substrates are required for high-performance cosmetic applications. In cleansing formulations such as facial washes, shampoos, and body cleansers, this ingredient delivers effective degreasing with a gentler profile than conventional sulfate surfactants, supporting low-irritation products. It acts as an emulsifier in leave-on and rinse-off systems, helping stabilize oil-in-water emulsions in creams and lotions. Its surface-modifying properties improve wetting and spreadability across the skin. Formulators also incorporate it into premium cleansing bars and syndet products where amino acid-based surfactants are a key differentiator for brands focusing on mildness and skin health. This chemical is typically supplied as a white to off-white powder. It is available in cosmetic-grade specification, with purity levels commonly at or above 98% as assessed by HPLC analysis. Packaging options generally range from small laboratory quantities to kilogram-scale orders suited to pilot and commercial production runs, ensuring flexibility for various manufacturing requirements.
