Lauric acid is the main fatty acid present in coconut and palm oils.  It is a very versatile and useful fatty acid and is used to make detergents, soaps, cosmetic ingredients and much more.

Lauric acid is also an emollient thickener that serves as a co-emulsifier and enhances the lipid layer. When neutralized, it acts as a superfatting agent and opacifier, making it suitable for use as a cleansing agent in haircare and skincare products. This multi-functional ingredient is commonly used in soap manufacturing, especially in the production of transparent soaps. Additionally, it possesses antimicrobial properties that offer anti-acne benefits by limiting the growth of p.acnes bacteria and reducing inflammation.
