Monobehenin（Cat No.:I013144）is a high-purity fatty acid ester, primarily used in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It is composed of a monoglyceride of behenic acid, a long-chain fatty acid (C22:0). Due to its emulsifying properties, Monobehenin is commonly employed in drug delivery systems, enhancing the solubility and bioavailability of poorly water-soluble drugs. Its stability and compatibility with other ingredients make it ideal for use in ointments, creams, and other topical preparations. Monobehenin also plays a key role in improving the texture and spreadability of cosmetic products.
