Lauric Acid C12-99 is a saturated fatty acid derived from natural vegetable sources such as palm kernel oil and coconut oil. It has a 12-carbon atom chain, classifying it as a medium-chain fatty acid. In its pure form, it appears as a bright white, powdery crystalline solid with a faint odor reminiscent of bay oil or soap. Lauric Acid is widely used in the production of soaps, detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, and daily chemicals.
Lauric Acid C12-99 contains more than 99% C12 fatty acid content. Thanks to its emollient and cleansing properties, it is commonly used as an ingredient in various skincare and haircare formulations.
It is widely utilized in the production of soaps, detergents, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, surfactants, and a broad range of daily chemical products.
Lauric Acid is supplied in solid white crystalline flakes. It is readily biodegradable and GMO-free. Lauric acid is a saturated fatty acid with a 12-carbon atom chain derived from natural vegetable palm kernel oil and coconut oil.
Lauric Acid C12-99 is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil origin and Kosher certified.
