Function
- Skin Penetration Enhancer: Laurocapram is known for its ability to enhance the absorption of other active ingredients through the skin. This makes it valuable in formulations that aim to deliver therapeutic agents more effectively.
- Emulsifying Agent: It can help stabilize emulsions, allowing oil and water-based ingredients to mix more effectively. This property is useful in creams, lotions, and other topical formulations.
- Moisturizing: As a fatty acid derivative, laurocapram can contribute to the moisturizing properties of skincare products, helping to keep the skin hydrated.
- Mildness: It is generally considered to be mild and non-irritating, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
Applications
- Cosmetics and Skincare: Laurocapram is often found in creams, lotions, serums, and other topical products designed for enhanced absorption and moisturizing benefits.
