ISOPROPYL LAURATE - Introduction
Isopropyl Laurate is an organic compound with the formula C15H30O2. Colorless to yellowish liquid with low viscosity and small odor.
Isopropyl laurate is mainly used in cosmetics and personal care products as an emollient and an oil component. It can provide a silky, comfortable touch and has good permeability, which can help other active ingredients be better absorbed by the skin.
The common method for preparing isopropyl laurate is to esterify isopropyl alcohol and lauric acid. The reaction is usually carried out under acidic conditions using an acid catalyst such as sulfuric acid or dimethyl sulfate. In addition, isopropyl laurate can be obtained by reacting laurate with isopropyl alcohol using a transesterification reaction.
Regarding the safety of using isopropyl laurate, it is considered to be a relatively safe compound. However, it is still necessary to observe the relevant safety procedures when using. Avoid contact with eyes and skin, and stay away from open flames or high temperatures. Proper testing is recommended before use to ensure that no adverse reactions occur. If discomfort or any discomfort occurs after exposure, discontinue use immediately and seek medical advice.
