Palmitoyl glutamic acid（Cat No.:I034171）is a lipidated amino acid derivative formed by the conjugation of palmitic acid, a long-chain saturated fatty acid, with glutamic acid. This amphiphilic compound exhibits enhanced lipophilicity, making it suitable for use in cosmetic formulations, drug delivery systems, and peptide modification. In skincare, palmitoyl glutamic acid is valued for its skin-conditioning properties, improving hydration, barrier function, and delivery of active ingredients. It also serves as a building block in lipid-based carriers and lipopeptides, enhancing cellular uptake and bioavailability in pharmaceutical and cosmetic applications.
