Capmul® S12L (Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate) 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 esthetically 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-hydroxyl acid benefit at lower pH. It is manufactured in USA.
