Information
Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate is a multifunctional ingredient used in skincare as an emulsifier, surfactant, and mild preservative. This ingredient is known for its gentle cleansing and antimicrobial properties, making it a popular choice in formulations that aim to be both effective and mild on the skin.
Where does it come from?
Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate is made through the combination of fatty acids, like lauric acid derived from coconut or palm oil, with lactic acid, which is typically obtained from fermented plant-based sources such as corn or sugarcane. The result is a gentle, biodegradable compound that can act as an emulsifier and mild preservative in skincare products.
Emulsifying Agent: Can blend liquid and oil phases, ensuring the stability and consistency of creams and emulsions.
Mild Surfactant: Gently cleanses the skin without stripping it of its natural oils, making it suitable for sensitive skin.
Purifying Properties: Provides mild preservative benefits by inhibiting the growth of certain microorganisms, which can extend the shelf life of products.
Moisturizing Effect: Can maintain the skin’s moisture balance, minimizing irritation.
Non-Irritating: Gentle on the skin, making it ideal for use in products formulated for sensitive skin types.
