Description
N-palmitoylglycine (CAS 2441-41-0, EC 627-023-4), also referred to as PalGly or Palmitoyl Glycine, is a fatty acid-amino acid conjugate formed by linking palmitic acid to the amino acid glycine. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified within the amino acids and peptides category.
In personal care formulations, N-palmitoylglycine functions as a surface-active agent capable of reducing interfacial tension between oil and water phases, supporting emulsification and stable dispersion of actives. Its lipophilic palmitic chain also contributes to mild cleansing and degreasing action by solubilising sebum and surface contaminants at the skin interface.
N-palmitoylglycine is supplied as a solid and is subject to REACH registration requirements for quantities placed on the EU market. Procurement teams should confirm supplier compliance documentation, including Safety Data Sheets aligned with EU GHS standards.
