Sapienic Acid Sodium（Cat No.:I017033）is the sodium salt of sapienic acid, a unique monounsaturated fatty acid primarily found in human sebum. Known for its antimicrobial properties, it plays a key role in the skin’s innate immune defense by inhibiting the growth of various bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus and Propionibacterium acnes, which are associated with skin infections and acne. In research, Sapienic Acid Sodium is explored for its potential in dermatology and cosmetic formulations, as it supports skin health and maintains the natural balance of the skin’s microbiome.
