Description

Octadecyl palmitate is an ester formed from the reaction of palmitic acid (a saturated fatty acid) and octadecyl alcohol. It is a white, waxy solid that is commonly used in cosmetics and pharmaceuticals as an emollient and skin-conditioning agent. Octadecyl palmitate is known for its ability to improve skin hydration and texture, and it is also used as a release agent in some pharmaceutical formulations. Research on octadecyl palmitate focuses on its properties and applications in these fields, exploring its efficacy as a moisturizer, its impact on skin barrier function, and its potential for improving drug delivery. Its chemical stability and biocompatibility make it a suitable ingredient in various topical applications.'

Bioavailability

ExcerptReferenceRelevance
"The biopharmaceutical studies of 1% hydrocortisone acetate ophthalmic ointments were carried out with isolated pig's eyes and demonstrated that the drug concentration in intraocular fluids depended on: a) ointment base used - the best bioavailability was obtained using white petrolatum with addition of 10% anhydrous lanolin, b) eye fluid examined - concentration of hydrocortisone acetate in aqueous humor was several times higher than in vitreous humor, c) presence of corneal epithelium - in all studied cases abrasion of corneal epithelium was accompanied by well-marked increase of drug concentration in intraocular fluids."( Bioavailability of hydrocortisone acetate from ophthalmic ointments.
