Description
10-Hydroxydecanoic acid (CAS 1679-53-4), also referred to as 10-hydroxy capric acid or 10-OH-decanoic acid, is a straight-chain hydroxylated fatty acid with the molecular formula C10H20O3. It carries no assigned E-code and is catalogued under EC number 216-848-1.
In personal care formulations, it functions as a pH buffer and oxidative stabilizer, helping to maintain product integrity and extend shelf life in emulsions and serums. Pharmaceutical and biotechnology applications leverage its carboxylic and hydroxyl groups for intermediate synthesis and as a stabilizing agent in bioactive compound development.
Supplied as a solid, this material is available for procurement under REACH-compliant conditions within the European market. Buyers should confirm applicable grade specifications, including purity certificates and analytical documentation, prior to order. The product is classified under HS code 2918199890 for customs and import purposes.
