Zinc palmitate

Description:
Zinc palmitate is a chemical compound formed from the reaction of zinc and palmitic acid, a saturated fatty acid. It is typically represented by the formula C32H62O4Zn, indicating that it consists of zinc ions coordinated with palmitate anions. This compound appears as a white to off-white powder and is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, making it useful in various applications. Zinc palmitate is often utilized as a lubricant, stabilizer, and emulsifier in the cosmetic and pharmaceutical industries. Additionally, it can serve as a release agent in the production of plastics and rubber. Its properties include thermal stability and the ability to enhance the texture and feel of formulations. As a zinc salt, it also contributes to the nutritional and health benefits associated with zinc, an essential trace element. Safety data indicates that while it is generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, appropriate handling and usage guidelines should be followed to minimize any potential risks.
