C12-15 ALKYL LACTATE

C12-15 Alkyl Lactate, also known as dodecyl lactate, is as the name suggests made from lauryl alcohol and lactic acid via an esterification process. Lauryl alcohol is obtained from palm oil. And lactic acid is one of the naturally occurring Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs). It is found in milk. It comes as a pale yellow to a yellow clear liquid. It has a faint, buttery fragrance.
C12-15 ALKYL LACTATE is easy to emulsify and is compatible with many systems. C12-15 ALKYL LACTATE ester can be used to enhance many types of personal care products but is best used in pH-neutral formulations.

EMOLLIENTS VARYING CHARACTERISTICS
The choice of an emollient or a blend of emollients depends on various characteristics:
• Chemical structure
• Polarity
• Spreading value
• Molecular weight
• Hydrolytic stability • Rheological properties
• Solubilizing properties

POLARITY
The polar emollients, mostly triglycerides, esters and liquid waxes, avoid clogging the skin pores, thus allowing the skin to breath.
Non-polar emollients provide a good protective barrier for moisture retention.
Polarity is also an important factor for the stabilization of W/O formulations.

SPREADING
The spreading values of emollients depend on their chemical structure, consistency and molecular weight.
They provide information about the fatty characteristics of an emollient, which play an important role in assessing an emollient.
