Product description
Isoamyl Laurate is a 100% natural emollient obtained by esterification of lauric acid from palm oil and isoamyl alcohol from bacterial fermentation. This light, non-greasy ester oil is fast spreading, practically colorless and odorless, and is ideal as a replacement for silicone oils in cosmetic formulations. It stands out for its stability – unlike other oils, it does not undergo oxidation, does not develop an undesirable odor and does not discolor products during storage.
It is fully biodegradable, produced from 100% renewable sources and meets COSMOS and Natrue standards. Thanks to its properties, it is an excellent solvent for active ingredients, UV filters and pigments, while supporting their uniform dispersion in the formulation.
