Tetraacetylphytosphingosine — Cosmetic Grade
Allzone Trading supplies Tetraacetylphytosphingosine as a white to off-white crystalline powder to manufacturers and formulators in Canada and international B2B markets. Also referenced as TAPS, Phytosphingosine tetraacetate, N,O,O,O-tetraacetylphytosphingosine. Tetraacetylphytosphingosine (TAPS) is the fully acetylated derivative of phytosphingosine, in which the amino group and the three hydroxyl groups carry acetyl groups. Acetylation removes the cationic character of the parent base and changes its solubility and compatibility profile.

Technical & procurement detail
What Tetraacetylphytosphingosine is and what it does+
Tetraacetylphytosphingosine (TAPS) is the fully acetylated derivative of phytosphingosine, in which the amino group and the three hydroxyl groups carry acetyl groups. Acetylation removes the cationic character of the parent base and changes its solubility and compatibility profile.
A separate identity from phytosphingosine+
TAPS and free phytosphingosine carry different INCI names, different CAS numbers and different compatibility with anionic surfactants. They are quoted from separate records on this catalogue; specify which the formulation was developed on.
Confirm assay and related substances on the exact lot+
Partially acetylated intermediates can remain in lower-quality material and are not visible from a headline purity figure alone. Require the assay method and the related-substance profile on the certificate of analysis for the lot offered.
Documentation and specification+
Assay, particle size, solvent residue, microbiological limits and heavy-metal limits differ between producers and grades. Allzone confirms the applicable specification with the supplier before quoting and shares the technical data sheet, safety data sheet and certificate of analysis for the exact material offered, so the values you evaluate are the values you receive.
Frequently asked questions
What documentation is provided?+
