Glycerol Monolaurate

 

Glycerol monolaurate is a compound produced by the esterification reaction of glycerol and lauric acid. It is water-soluble and oil-soluble. It is commonly found in natural oils (such as coconut oil) and can also be synthesized chemically.

 

Advantages:

 

• Broad-spectrum antibacterial: Antibacterial effect is achieved by destroying the lipid membrane structure of microorganisms, reducing the dependence on chemical preservatives.
• Versatility: It has multiple functions such as emulsification, stabilization, moisturizing, etc., and is widely applicable.
• Natural source: It can be extracted from coconut oil, which is more environmentally friendly and highly accepted by consumers.
• Synergistic enhancement: Used in combination with other preservatives can reduce the total amount added and improve safety.
