Frequently Asked Questions

What is pyridoxine tripalmitate used for?

Pyridoxine tripalmitate (CAS 4372-46-7) is used in cosmetic formulations as a skin-conditioning agent and as a hair-conditioning and antistatic agent. As an oil-soluble specialty additive it is incorporated into anhydrous and emulsion-based personal-care products.

Are vitamin B6 and pyridoxine tripalmitate the same thing?

No. Pyridoxine is the alcohol form of vitamin B6; pyridoxine tripalmitate is its tripalmitate ester (C56H101NO6), an oil-soluble pyridine derivative. The esterification makes it lipophilic and suited to oil-phase cosmetic formulation rather than to water-soluble applications.

Is pyridoxine tripalmitate oil-soluble or water-soluble?

It is oil-soluble. The three palmitate chains give it strong lipophilicity, so it is formulated into the oil phase of emulsions and into anhydrous systems rather than aqueous phases.

What is the molecular formula and CAS number for pyridoxine tripalmitate?

The molecular formula is C56H101NO6 and the CAS number is 4372-46-7. It is classified within the esters family as the tripalmitate ester of pyridoxine.

What is the cost of bulk pyridoxine tripalmitate and what packaging is available?

Pricing depends on volume and current market conditions, so we quote per order rather than list a fixed price. Submit a bulk RFQ with your required quantity to receive available pack sizes, MOQ, lead time, and a CoA/SDS.
