Lauric Myristic Acid C12-14 is a blend of fatty acids primarily consisting of lauric acid (C12) and myristic acid (C14). These fatty acids are derived from natural vegetable sources such as palm kernel oil and coconut oil.
Lauric Myristic Acid C12-14 is widely used in personal care and cosmetic products, as well as in the food and pharmaceutical industries. It also serves various industrial applications, including the manufacturing of surfactants and detergents.
Lauric Myristic Acid C12-14 is fatty acid derived from Palm Kernel Oil or Coconut Oil. It is a fractionated fatty acid type which can be used as emulsifying agents in cosmetic formulation.
It is commonly found in household cleaners, hand sanitizers, surfactants, coatings, paints and inks, flavors and fragrances, food products, pharmaceuticals, and a wide range of personal care items.
Lauric Acid acts as a surfactant. Its ability to generate rich lather and its affinity for both water and oil make it especially valuable in formulations such as soaps, shampoos, and facial cleansers. Additionally, it is readily biodegradable and GMO-free.
Lauric Myristic Acid C12-14 is of 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Oil and Palm Kernel Oil origin and is Kosher certified.
