Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate

Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate, also known as Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate in English, is an ingredient used in the cosmetics industry. This substance is an emulsifier that is used to combine the aqueous and oil phases of cosmetic products. This is important so that the product does not separate and remains unified. On cosmetic product packaging, this substance is often referred to as E482.

Sodium caproyl/lauroyl lactylate is used in a wide range of cosmetic products, but also in the food industry. The most commonly used cosmetic products include body and skin creams, shampoos, deodorants, make-up, as well as toothpastes. In the food industry, the substance is used, for example, as an emulsifier in bakery products, dairy products or semi-finished products. Its main advantage is that it improves the texture and overall quality of the product.

Sodium Caproyl/Lauroyl Lactylate is generally considered to be a safe ingredient. However, it may cause skin irritation or allergic reactions in sensitive individuals. Therefore, it is always important to monitor how your body reacts to a product and stop using it if any adverse effects occur.
