  • Applications

    Lauryl Laurate (CAS 13945-76-1) is primarily used as a lightweight emollient and conditioning agent in cosmetics and personal care formulations, including creams, lotions, and hair care products; it also serves as a solvent/vehicle for fragrance oils and active ingredients, helping to carry aroma compounds in perfumery and color cosmetics; in household products, it acts as a gentle emollient and slip additive in cleansers and dish liquids to improve spreadability and skin feel; in industrial manufacturing and coatings, it can function as a processing aid and lubricating ester to facilitate handling and formulation of polymers and coatings; and it may be employed as a plasticizer or slip agent in polymer formulations where a non-greasy, waxy ester is desirable; its use is formulation dependent and subject to local regulations and formulation limits.
