GLYCERYL DIPALMITATE

Glyceryl dipalmitate is a 1,3-diglyceride obtained by the formal acylation of positions 1 and 3 of glycerol by hexadecanoic (palmitic) acid.
Glyceryl dipalmitate is a 1,3-diglyceride and a dihexadecanoylglycerol.
Glyceryl dipalmitate is functionally related to a hexadecanoic acid.
Glyceryl dipalmitate is a natural product found in Sauromatum giganteum, Sciadopitys verticillata, and Triticum aestivum.

Glyceryl dipalmitate has been used as a standard in lipid analysis of feeds and omasal digesta.
Glyceryl dipalmitate has also been used as a standard in identifying sn-1,3 diacylglycerol (DAG) in skeletal muscles.

Glyceryl dipalmitate acts as a metabolite of saccharomyces cerevisiae, plant and human.

Mixture of portions of glycerin and palmitic acid used as an emollient and thickening agent in cosmetics.
May be plant- or animal-derived or synthetic.

Glyceryl dipalmitate also is known as palmitin, is a diester of glycerin and palmitic acid.
Palmitic acid is also known as hexadecenoic acid which is naturally found in palm oil, palm kernel oil, butter, cheese, milk, egg yolk, and animal fat.
Palmitic acid is also found in the body in various organs.
Glyceryl dipalmitate comes as white solid.

Use & Benefits:
Glyceryl dipalmitate and glycerin is a synergistic combination.
Glyceryl dipalmitate is a fatty acid which is readily absorbed into the skin and provides the fat content required for dry skin to heal.
Also, when applied on skin it forms a mash work, which does not allow moisture to evaporate.
When moisture is lost, the skin becomes vulnerable to the damages caused by atmospheric stimuli.
So, when applied on the skin it makes skin look and feels smoother.
Similar to other glyceryl diesters they have longer alkyl chain and many functioning groups such as -OH and -COO-, which makes both water-loving and fat-loving ingredients attached to it.
So, it can be ideally used as an emulsifying agent.
Glyceryl dipalmitate is used in skincare products, makeup products, and lipstick.
