  • Applications

    Magnesium Palmitoyl Glutamate (CAS 57539-47-6) is primarily used in cosmetics and personal care as a conditioning agent for skin and hair, while also functioning as a mild surfactant and emulsifier to improve slip and the stability of emulsions. It is commonly regarded as a softening and moisturizing ingredient in skin-care formulations. In household cleaning products, it can serve as a surfactant/emulsifier to enhance cleaning performance and formulation stability. In coatings and inks, it may be used as an emulsifier or wetting aid to improve wetting and dispersion. In pharmaceuticals, it can be considered an excipient or topical formulation component, subject to local regulations.
