Gadoleic acid

Gadoleic acid (CAS 29204-02-2 ), also commercially referenced as eicosenoic acid, is a monounsaturated C20 fatty acid occurring naturally in fish oils, jojoba, and certain seed oils. It functions as an emollient, moisturizing agent, and lubricant across personal care, food, and pharmaceutical manufacturing. In cosmetic formulations, it contributes to skin barrier support and emolliency. This material is used in creams, lotions, and lip care products, where its long-chain fatty acid profile improves texture and spreadability. Food manufacturers use it as a functional lipid component. It is often found in specialty fat blends and nutritional oils targeting specific fatty acid profiles. Pharmaceutical formulators incorporate it into topical carriers and ointment bases for lubrication. These applications require specific skin absorption characteristics. It also serves industrial lubrication applications where bio-based fatty acid feedstocks are preferred over petroleum-derived alternatives. Gadoleic acid is typically supplied as a liquid oil or as part of concentrated fatty acid fractions derived from fish oil or plant-based sources. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are common. Technical-grade material is also offered for non-consumer applications. Purity levels and sourcing origin, marine versus plant-derived, are key specification points buyers should confirm with suppliers. Contact us for supply of Gadoleic acid Request Quote
