Lauric acid is mainly used as a surfactant, not only in skincare products, but also in other products, such as some shampoo.
Lauric acid is used in various facial cleansers because its surfactant can react with the oil on the skin surface. For people with oily skin, it is very suitable for products containing lauric acid. After all, its cleaning ability is very strong, and the cleaning effect is better than ordinary products.
In addition, it is also used as a food additive, wetting agent, vulcanizing agent, detergent, insecticide, surface treatment agent, chemical fiber oil agent, plastic stabilizer, anti-corrosion additive, etc.
