Chenodeoxycholic Acid: High-Purity Bile Acid Derivative for Emulsifying & Solubilizing Systems

Molecular Identity

• Chemical Name (INCI): Chenodeoxycholic Acid
• Molecular Formula: C₂₄H₄₀O₄
• Source: Semi-synthetic or derived from animal bile acids via purification

Function & Applications

Chenodeoxycholic Acid is a primary bile acid with solubilizing, emulsifying, and surfactant-like properties, used in select cosmetic and technical formulations. It is especially valued in niche applications requiring membrane interaction, enhanced penetration, or dissolution of lipophilic compounds:

• Solubilizing Agent: Helps disperse lipophilic actives in aqueous systems
• Penetration Enhancer: Used in lipid-delivery and bioavailability-focused systems
• Emulsifier Co-Component: Supports complex phase structures in microemulsions
• Stabilizer: Contributes to formulation clarity and phase uniformity

Application areas: targeted delivery emulsions, lipid-based serums, technical actives, and advanced dispersion systems. Suitable for bulk supply to formulation labs, R&D teams, and technical production environments.

Typical Usage & Dosage

• Lipid-based formulations: 0.05–0.5%
• Advanced emulsions or delivery systems: 0.1–1%
• Solubilization systems: up to 2%

Partially soluble in ethanol, propylene glycol, and other polar solvents. Requires pH adjustment or emulsifier support for aqueous use. Optimal pH range: 6.0–7.5.
