Inulin Lauryl Carbamate

Inulin Lauryl CarbamateBarrier

A chicory-derived emulsifier used to stabilize emulsions and improve their feel.

What it does

Inulin Lauryl Carbamate is made from chicory inulin (a plant sugar) joined to a fatty chain. The sugar part is water-loving and the fatty part is oil-loving, so it stabilizes oil-and-water emulsions and improves their smoothness, often used with other emulsifiers. It is a formulation ingredient rather than a skin active.
