Overview
Isoamyl laurate is a type of ingredient known as an emollient, which is a class of ingredients that works to improve the appearance of skin by making it look softer and smoother. This ester is very fast spreading and is often considered a natural silicone alternative due to its elegant and velvety sensorial profile.
Isoamyl laurate also features a non-sticky finish and improves the spreadability of emulsion-based skincare products. In addition, this colorless clear liquid can be an effective solvent, which means it helps mix otherwise noncompatible oils together and disperse insoluble solid ingredients.
