In depth
What it does
A glycerin diester of lauric acid (derived from coconut/palm kernel oil) used as an emollient and mild co-emulsifier in creams and lotions. As an emollient ingredient, it is particularly valued for conditions and softens skin and helps stabilize water-in-oil emulsions.
Skin type guide
Best suited to normal, dry, or combination skin. Lightweight emollients work for oily skin too — richer ones are best reserved for dry and very dry skin types.
How to use it
Works best as a later step in your routine, after water-based serums and treatments. Emollients help seal in earlier layers, so their placement matters — put lighter textures on first.
