CAPMUL® S12L

CAPMUL® S12L is the partially neutralized condensation product of lauric acid and lactic acid. It is used both in hair care and skin care, providing an additional skin conditioning effect. CAPMUL® S12L is an environmentally friendly replacement for alkanolamides providing rheology control as well as giving aesthetically pleasing dense, creamy foam. Due to the high foaming character of CAPMUL® S12L, it may be employed as a primary surfactant in sulfate-free formulations or used as a secondary surfactant to add additional benefits. CAPMUL® S12L is an excellent emulsifier in creams and lotions, providing an alpha-hydroxy acid benefit at lower pH.
