Description

Trilinolenin (CAS 537-40-6 ), also known as Trilinolein, is the triglyceride form of linoleic acid, a naturally occurring lipid found in plant-derived oils. It functions as an emollient, carrier, and emulsifier across cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and food applications. In personal care formulations, it supports skin barrier function and acts as a lightweight carrier for active ingredients in serums, creams, and oils. Pharmaceutical manufacturers use it as a lipid excipient in soft gel encapsulation. It is frequently utilized in lipid-based drug delivery systems where controlled release and biocompatibility are priorities. In food applications, it serves as a reference standard and functional lipid component in nutritional research. The material is also used in specialty fat formulations. Cosmetic chemists incorporate it into emulsified systems where a linoleic-rich triglyceride profile is required for specific formulation differentiation and performance. Trilinolenin is typically supplied as a liquid oil at ambient temperature. It is available in research-grade and high-purity analytical grades, commonly used as a reference standard in lipid profiling and quality control workflows. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade material is sourced in bulk for formulators requiring defined fatty acid triglyceride composition. This ensures consistency across various industrial applications and high-volume manufacturing processes. Contact us for supply of Trilinolenin Request Quote
