Eceryl™ 12 is an ester derived from erucic fatty acids and acts as a co-surfactant with emollient and solubilizing properties. It reduces skin redness and disruption of the skin barrier function caused by surfactant penetration. Eceryl™ 12 is synthesized with glycerin, an endogenous component of the skin known for its humectant properties. Erucic acid is a monounsaturated omega-9 fatty acid (22:1 -9) found in rapeseed oil (Brassica napus).
