Lauroglycol

Description:
Lauroglycol, with the CAS number 37321-62-3, is a chemical compound primarily used as a solvent and emulsifier in various industrial and cosmetic applications. It is a diol, specifically a glycol, which means it contains two hydroxyl (-OH) groups. This structure imparts hydrophilic properties, making Lauroglycol effective in solubilizing both hydrophilic and lipophilic substances. It is typically colorless and odorless, with a low volatility, which enhances its stability in formulations. Lauroglycol is known for its skin-conditioning properties, making it a popular ingredient in personal care products such as lotions and creams. Additionally, it exhibits low toxicity and is generally regarded as safe for use in cosmetic formulations. Its ability to enhance the texture and feel of products, along with its emulsifying capabilities, contributes to its widespread use in the formulation of various consumer goods. However, as with any chemical, it is essential to handle Lauroglycol according to safety guidelines to minimize any potential risks.
