Description
Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate is a colorless to pale yellow oily liquid that functions primarily as an excellent emollient, leaving the skin visibly soft and smooth. At the same time, it acts as an effective solvent for hard-to-dissolve ingredients, such as certain UV filters, helping distribute them evenly throughout the formulation. It stands out for its light, non-greasy feel upon application, minimal odor, and very good spreadability. These characteristics make it widely used across various cosmetic formulas. Notably, it is derived from the amino acid sarcosine and is biodegradable.
