How is Glyceryl Laurate produced?
The production of GML 90 takes place through the esterification of glycerol with lauric acid, a saturated fatty acid primarily derived from coconut oil or palm oil. During the manufacturing process, the product is purified to ensure consistent quality and optimal stability. The final product is a pure monoester suitable for both cosmetic and technical applications.
Function of GML 90
In cosmetics, Glyceryl Laurate acts as an emulsifier, thickening agent, and skin conditioner. It supports the stability of emulsions and helps distribute active ingredients evenly. In addition, GML 90 has properties that can improve the shelf life of formulations and support the skin’s natural flora. In technical applications, it can be used as a solvent or lubricant.
