About Lauric Acid

Lauric Acid is a fatty acid.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, create an emulsion in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly. It is described as a white liquid, so the order and temperature of mixing it with other liquid ingredients affect the uniformity of the finished product.[2] [3]
