Cosmetic Grade Glycerol Laurate-CAS 142-18-7
Cosmetic-grade Glycerol Laurate is a high-purity lipophilic non-ionic emulsifier synthesized from natural lauric acid and glycerin. With a moderate HLB value of 3.8, it is a classic oil-phase emulsifying and stabilizing auxiliary for cosmetic formulas, featuring mildness, safety and no skin irritation.
Different from traditional high-irritation emulsifiers, glycerol laurate has excellent lipophilic dispersion and emulsifying ability, which can efficiently emulsify and stabilize oil-phase raw materials in skincare and cleansing formulas, prevent oil-water stratification and ingredient precipitation, and significantly improve the uniformity and stability of formula systems.
It has outstanding foam stabilizing and conditioning effects in surfactant cleansing systems, which can optimize foam fineness and density, improve foam persistence, avoid foam collapse and thinning during use, and greatly upgrade the user experience of cleansing products.
In addition, this product has natural skin moisturizing and lubricating properties, which can form a mild protective film on the skin surface, reduce dryness and tightness after cleansing, and improve the moisturizing and smoothness of finished products. With high purity, low impurity and stable chemical properties, it has excellent compatibility with various oils, surfactants and functional additives, does not affect the fragrance and color of finished products, and is a multi-functional safe auxiliary widely used in mild skincare and cleansing formulas.
Key Benefits
• Excellent Lipophilic Emulsification & Stabilization: Professional oil-phase emulsifying capacity, perfectly compatible with cosmetic oil systems, effectively prevent oil-water stratification, improve formula uniformity and long-term stability.
• Efficient Foam Stabilizing & Quality Improvement: Optimize foam fineness and density, prolong foam retention time, avoid foam collapse, make cleansing foam delicate and creamy, and upgrade product use experience.
• Mild & Skin-Friendly Moisturizing: Non-ionic mild structure, low irritation and high safety. It can moisturize and lubricate the skin, relieve dry and tight feeling after washing, and improve skin comfort.
• Good Thickening & Suspending Performance: Assist in thickening daily chemical formulas, stabilize suspended particles and functional ingredients, prevent precipitation and layering, and maintain uniform texture of finished products.
• Strong Formula Compatibility: Perfectly compatible with various vegetable oils, synthetic oils and surfactants, no conflict with functional ingredients, does not affect product color and fragrance.
