  • Applications

    Glycol dilaurate is primarily used in cosmetic and personal care formulations as a mild nonionic surfactant and emollient, providing slip and skin feel in creams, lotions, cleansers, and other personal care products. It also serves as a conditioning agent in hair care formulations, aiding glide and conditioning perception. In household cleaning products, it functions as a surfactant/co-surfactant to help solubilize oils and improve spreading and rinsing. In coatings, inks, and adhesives, it can act as a processing aid, lubricant, or compatibility agent to improve film formation, leveling, and adhesion. In polymer and plastics processing, it may be used as a minor additive to modify rheology, wettability, or oil–water compatibility. Formulators should consider local regulations and formulation limits when using this ingredient.
