Oleic acid is a monounsaturated fatty acid with the chemical formula C₁₈H₃₄O₂ and a C-18:1 carbon atom chain structure. It is derived from natural vegetable sources such as palm kernel oil or coconut oil.
Oleic Acid appears as a pale yellow to brownish-yellow oily liquid. It is readily biodegradable and GMO-free.
In cosmetics, Oleic Acid is a key ingredient in moisturizers and ointments. It is also used in the production of lubricants, chemical intermediates, and alkyd resins.
Oleic Acid 75% Min is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil origin and Kosher certified.

Oleic Acid is widely used as a raw material in the production of various esters, fatty alcohols, fatty acids, metallic soaps, fatty amines, and surfactants commonly found in personal care products, liquid and transparent soaps, and corrosion/rust inhibitors for antifreeze.
Its applications span multiple industries including agricultural chemicals, food, adhesives, crayons, candles, cements, coatings, inks, leather waxes, lubricants, metalworking, mining, pencils, pharmaceuticals (capsules and ointments), plastics, rubber, and textiles.
In the leather industry, Oleic Acid is extensively used for tanning and finishing processes. It also serves as a chemical auxiliary in textile manufacturing, and finds use in the pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries.
In the food industry, Oleic Acid is used to manufacture synthetic butter and cheese, and to flavor baked goods, sweets, ice cream, and lemonade.
