Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate

A mild emulsifier built from lactic acid and a fatty acid that blends oil and water and conditions the skin surface.

What it does

Sodium lauroyl lactylate is a gentle emulsifier derived from lactic acid and lauric acid. It helps oil and water mix into a stable emulsion and lends a soft, conditioning feel. It is well tolerated and biodegradable, which is why it appears in mild and naturally-positioned formulas. It is a structural emulsifier rather than an active.
