Ultrafine (≈10 µm) PEA powder for sensitive‑skin formulas; 0.2–2.0% typical (best ~1%).
Palmitamide MEA (also known as palmitoylethanolamide, PEA) is an endogenous fatty‑acid amide used in dermocosmetics to support comfort in sensitive skin. This is an ultrafine 10 µm particle‑size grade designed for improved dispersibility and smoother texture compared with standard particle size.
Mechanistically, PEA engages PPAR‑α and related pathways involved in inflammation and mast‑cell activity. In topical use it functions as a skin‑conditioning, emollient ingredient that may help soothe visible redness and support the skin barrier.
The ultrafine grade assists incorporation into creams/lotions/serums with more uniform dispersion. Typical working range is 0.2–2.0% (best ~1.0%), depending on base and target skin feel.
Usage: Sensitive‑skin creams/lotions/serums; barrier creams; anti‑redness care; post‑procedure comfort (non‑medicated)
How to mix:
- Pre‑dissolve or disperse into a suitable solvent with heat (≈70°C), then add to the oil phase or during cool‑down as appropriate
- Suitable carriers (≤5% with heat): Olive Oil, Butylene Glycol, Pentylene Glycol, Ethoxydiglycol, Flora Solve
- Homogenize for uniformity; avoid prolonged high heat once incorporated; stability depends on the base
Usage rate: 0.2–2.0% (typical), best ~1.0% depending on base
