Rapeseed acid is a mixture of various fatty acids from the seeds of Brassica campestris (also known as Brassica rapa or Brassica napus), the rape seed.

The fatty acids from the rape seed are used in cosmetic formulations. They have a skin-cleansing effect (cleans the surface of the skin, hair or teeth) and a surfactant effect (washing-active substance/improves the even distribution of the products during application).
