About KIWI SEED OIL/PALM OIL AMINOPROPANEDIOL ESTERS

A plant-derived ester from kiwi seed and palm oils providing skin-conditioning benefits with a balanced omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acid profile.

Detailed Analysis

Actinidia chinensis (kiwi) seed oil is notable for its high alpha-linolenic acid (omega-3, approximately 60%) and linoleic acid (omega-6) content, making it one of the few plant oils with such a balanced polyunsaturated profile. Palm oil contributes stability through its saturated fatty acid content. Transesterification with aminopropanediol yields the final product. No specific EU restrictions apply to this ingredient under Regulation 1223/2009.
