Lauroyl Lysine
Lauroyl Lysine
An amino-acid-derived powder used to coat pigments and give a smooth, water-repellent slip.
What it does
Lauroyl Lysine is made by joining lauric acid to the amino acid lysine, forming fine platelets. It coats pigments and powders to make them water-repellent and adds a soft, silky slip, so it is used as a texture and dispersing agent in color products. It is a texture ingredient rather than a skin active.
