Frequently Asked Questions:

Is your Palmitic Acid suitable for making transparent soap?

While excellent for creating hard, opaque soap bars, our Palmitic Acid is not typically used as the primary fatty acid for transparent soap, which relies more on oleic acid. However, it can be used in small amounts for consistency.

Our Palmitic Acid has a very low iodine value (typically below 2), confirming its high saturation and stability, which contributes to a long shelf life and resistance to rancidity.

What is the iodine value of your Palmitic Acid?

Yes, we offer food-grade Kosher Palmitic Acid that is safe for use as a binder and anti-caking agent in food products like chewing gum base and whipped desserts.

Can I use this in food applications?

Both are excellent emulsifiers. Palmitic Acid produces a slightly softer, creamier consistency in emulsions compared to the harder texture provided by Stearic Acid. They are often used together.

How does it compare to Stearic Acid in creams?

Yes, we are committed to responsible sourcing and provide Palmitic Acid derived from RSPO (Roundtable on Sustainable Palm Oil) certified sustainable sources upon request.
