A plant-derived ester emollient used as a light, dry-feeling alternative to silicones.

What it does

Isoamyl Laurate is an ester made from plant-derived alcohol and lauric acid. It is a light, fast-spreading emollient with a dry, silky finish, so it is used to soften skin and improve slip, often as a plant-based stand-in for light silicones. It is an emollient ingredient rather than a skin active.
