What is Isoamyl Laurate?

Isoamyl laurate is a very well-tolerated, skin-conditioning ester oil. It is a colorless, odorless oil with a light, silky texture. In cosmetics, isoamyl laurate is primarily used as an emollient , meaning it makes the skin soft and supple.

Properties of Isoamyl Laurate

Isoamyl laurate helps to bind water and oil together, forming stable emulsions. This property makes it a valuable ingredient in creams, lotions, and other skincare products. It nourishes the skin, leaving it soft and supple. It can help relieve dryness and itching. Isoamyl laurate also helps to dissolve other fat-soluble ingredients in cosmetic products, such as color pigments or sunscreen filters.

Isoamyl laurate has antibacterial properties. It absorbs quickly into the skin and leaves no oily residue. It is well-tolerated and suitable even for sensitive skin. It is often used as a natural and compatible alternative to silicones.
