TYPICAL PROPERTIES

Chemical Properties: Acidity: Oleic acid is a weak organic acid (pKa ≈ 9.85). Solubility: Slightly soluble in water but highly soluble in organic solvents such as ethanol, ether, and chloroform. Double Bond: Contains one cis double bond between carbon 9 and carbon 10 (C9=C10), making it a monounsaturated fatty acid. Oxidation: Oleic acid is relatively resistant to oxidation compared to polyunsaturated fatty acids, but it can still undergo oxidation under certain conditions. Functional Properties: Emollient: Oleic acid is an excellent emollient, meaning it helps to soften and smooth the skin by forming a barrier to prevent moisture loss. Penetration Enhancer: It is often used in skincare formulations to enhance the absorption of other ingredients into the skin. Lubricant: Used in various formulations to improve the texture and consistency of creams, lotions, and ointments. Surfactant: It has surfactant properties and is used in soaps and cleansers to improve foaming and cleansing. These properties make oleic acid useful in cosmetics, skincare, pharmaceuticals, and even food products (especially in oils like olive oil).
