Glyceryl Laurate
INCI
SUMMARY
Glyceryl laurate is sourced from glycerin and lauric acid, a fatty acid found in coconut oil and other vegetable oils. It's commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products as an emulsifier, surfactant and skin-conditioning agent. Glyceryl laurate helps to stabilize emulsions (mixtures of oil and water) in skincare products and creates a smooth, luxurious feel to skin. It can also improve the texture of various cosmetic formulas and act as a mild cleansing agent.
