Information

Glyceryl undecylenate is an ester formed from glycerin and undecylenic acid, known for its natural preservative and skin-conditioning properties. Its structure combines the moisturizing properties of glycerin with the growth inhibiting properties of undecylenic acid.

Where does it come from?

Glyceryl undecylenate is derived from natural sources. Glycerin, a well-known humectant, is obtained from plant oils through hydrolysis. Undecylenic acid is a fatty acid typically derived from castor oil. The esterification process, which combines glycerin and undecylenic acid, results in glyceryl undecylenate.

  • Growth Inhibiting Properties: Glyceryl undecylenate is known for its growth inhibiting activity. It can minimize contamination in skincare products, ensuring they remain safe and effective throughout their shelf life.

  • Skin Conditioning: Glyceryl undecylenate acts as a skin-conditioning agent, contributing to the overall texture and appearance of the skin. It can maintain the skin’s natural barrier, promoting a vibrant and balanced complexion.
  • Product Stability: By inhibiting microorganism growth, glyceryl undecylenate contributes to the stability and longevity of skincare formulations. This ensures that the products remain effective and safe to use over time.
  • Gentle and Non-Irritating: Glyceryl undecylenate is gentle and non-irritating on the skin and is well-tolerated by all skin types, including sensitive skin.
