Digalloyl trioleate

Digalloyl trioleate is an antioxidant compound used mainly in pharmaceutical and cosmetic formulations. It combines gallic acid derivatives (known for their antioxidant properties) with oleic acid, resulting in a molecule that can help protect cells and formulations from oxidative damage. Its lipid-soluble nature allows it to be effective in fat-based systems, making it suitable for use in creams, lotions, and other oil-based products where oxidative stability is important. The directory classifies it as a discontinued API with a natural source/manufacturing origin. Other names for this substance include Gallic acid, 3-gallate, trioleate and Digalloyl trioleate (USAN). Its PubChem CID is 46174130.
