Description:Oleic acid is a naturally occurring monounsaturated fatty acid (C18:1, cis-9-octadecenoic acid) widely used as an excipient in pharmaceutical formulations. Due to its amphiphilic and lipophilic properties, oleic acid is an important drug excipient primarily used to enhance the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. As a fatty acid, it is widely used in cosmeceuticals as it acts as a solubilizer in lipid-based systems, an emulsifier in creams and ointments, and a penetration enhancer in transdermal patches, aiding drug absorption through the skin.
