Glyceryl Laurate

Description

Glyceryl Laurate is an emulsifier added to cosmetic products to help dissolve and mix different ingredients that would not otherwise mix together. It can also be used as a thickener and stabilizer to ensure even distribution of ingredients in cosmetics. This ingredient can be obtained from both natural and synthetic sources. Usually, Glyceryl Laurate is produced by reacting lauric acid with glycerin. Glyceryl Laurate helps retain moisture in skin and hair, reduces the appearance of oiliness, and makes skin and hair softer and smoother.
