Lauroyl Lysine is an amino-acid derivative made from L-Lysine and fatty acids. Being barely soluble either in water or organic solvents, it can be used as a powdery texture modifier for various cosmetic applications. As a small molecular organic material based on fatty acid, it imparts a soft and silky feel to the skin as well as excellent emolliency, and also can relieve drying feel of inorganic powders. The particles have flat and hexagonal shape, resulting in excellent adherence to skin which provides long wearing properties.
Krishana Enterprises is a leading supplier of Lauroyl Lysine, which has an excellent lubricious properties. Lauroyl Lysine has low refractive index and reduces electrostatic effect. It is biodegradable and extremely safe.
It prevents blotching or running due to sweat or water. It can be adsorbed by the surface of inorganic powders to improve physicochemical properties. It can enhance the rapidity of foaming, the volume and thickness of foam. It imparts excellent coverage, matte and not shimmering finish, as well as improves the spreadability and decreases skin stickiness. It provides long-lasting finish look, fresh feeling, excellent adhesiveness, water repellence and surface modification (hydrophilic to hydrophobic, improvement of fluidity of oil/powder mixture).
