Potassium oleate (Cat No.: M068239) the potassium salt of oleic acid, a monounsaturated fatty acid derived from natural fats and oils. This compound appears as a soft, soapy solid or viscous liquid and functions as an anionic surfactant with excellent emulsifying, dispersing, and cleansing properties. It is widely used in soaps, cosmetics, and cleaning agents. Potassium oleate is biodegradable and considered environmentally friendly. Its amphiphilic nature makes it valuable in formulations requiring mildness, skin compatibility, and effective solubilization of oils and dirt.
