Glyceryl Laurate

Glyceryl Laurate MB is a low HLB emulsifier used for water-in-oil formulations; it can also be used as a co-emulsifier in water-in-oil formulations to support stability and reduce undesirable soaping properties that can occur with some formulations. Glyceryl Laurate is a  unique, multifunctional compound made from lauric acid obtained from sustainable plant sources. Glyceryl Laurate MB is a 100% naturally derived, biodegradable monoglyceride offering powerful multifunctionality in modern cosmetic formulations. Derived from sustainably sourced lauric acid (RSPO Mass Balance certified), this versatile ingredient acts as a co-emulsifier, emollient, and skin microbiome-friendly preservative booster, making it ideal for formulators seeking to streamline product performance with minimal ingredients.

Unlike standard monoglycerides, Glyceryl Laurate MB delivers a unique combination of barrier-reinforcing emollience, formulation stability, and self-preserving activity, contributing to product freshness while supporting skin health. It promotes the penetration of active ingredients, improves texture and rub-out, and creates elegant aesthetics across a wide variety of leave-on and rinse-off formulations.
