Lauryl Laurate is used in emulsified products to help increase formula stability, improve function of active ingredients on skin, and as a conditioning agent. Lauryl Laurate is made of lauryl alcohol and lauric acid, both of which are 100% RSPO palm oil derived.
When creating creams and lotions that have high levels of actives, you want to ensure the product will not only feel good upon application but will also have high effectiveness in delivering those active ingredients. Including functional ingredients such as lauryl laurate, stearyl palmitate and ethylhexyl palmitate into your formulas accomplishes both goals.
What are the benefits of Lauryl Laurate?
Lauryl Laurate is a fast-melting ester wax that incorporates easily into your formulas and leaves a soft, silky feeling on the skin. Lauryl Laurate helps to decrease the greasy feel of products with high levels of oils and butters. Lauryl Laurate and Stearyl Palmitate have similar functions, but Lauryl Laurate has a much lower melt point giving a softer skin-feel to your formulations.
Lauryl Laurate is an all-natural alternative to silicones in your haircare and skincare products. The end feel on the skin and hair is very silky, making this ideal for shampoos and conditioners, hair masks, facial masks, eye creams, lip sticks and balms, facial scrubs, and color cosmetics.
Please note that Lauryl Laurate does melt at around 77°F. If you order this product during warmer times, it may come to you liquified. Simply allow to cool and use as normal.
Lauryl Laurate is sold in 1-pound bio-degradable bags, 5-pound bio-degradable bags, 25-pound bags, and 55-pound sizes. Please email us directly for orders over 550 pounds.
