Chemical Structure:
10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid Application:
10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid is a medium-chain hydroxy fatty acid naturally found in royal jelly and produced through chemical or enzymatic synthesis. It features both a hydroxyl group and a carboxylic acid functional group, giving it unique amphiphilic and bioactive properties. This compound is well-regarded in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and biochemical research for its mild activity and versatility. In formulation science, it serves as a multifunctional ingredient—providing emulsifying, moisturizing, and stabilizing benefits—while also being used as a biochemical marker of royal jelly authenticity. Its balanced hydrophilic-lipophilic profile allows compatibility with oils, emulsifiers, and active ingredients, making it a valuable component in advanced skin care, antimicrobial formulations, and health-related applications. Applications:
Cosmetic and Personal Care Ingredient:
10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid is widely used in skincare formulations for its moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties. It helps strengthen the skin barrier, enhances elasticity, and supports a balanced microbiome. It’s found in creams, serums, and emulsions designed for sensitive or mature skin.Pharmaceutical Intermediate:
In the pharmaceutical field, it acts as an intermediate for synthesizing bioactive molecules and ester derivatives. Its hydroxy and carboxyl groups offer valuable reactive sites for producing esters, amides, or polymers used in drug delivery and biomedical materials.Biochemical Research & Nutraceutical Use:
10-Hydroxydecanoic Acid is studied for its biological activities, including mild antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. It serves as a biomarker for royal jelly content and is also evaluated in nutraceutical formulations aiming to support skin and immune health.
