Isoamyl Laurate
Wat is Isoamyl Laurate?
Isoamyl Laurate is a super lightweight natural alternative to silicone. It is made from sugar beet and coconut oil, which makes it completely biodegradable and environmentally friendly. You can find this delicious substance in our conditioner bar. The light oily substance gives your hair shine without weighing it down.
How is Isoamyl Laurate made?
Isoamyl Laurate is made from natural ingredients such as sugar cane, sugar beet and coconut oil. These raw materials are combined in a process called esterification, in which isoamyl alcohol and lauric acid react with each other. By using heat and a safe catalyst, a new substance is created: Isoamyl Laurate. The mixture is then thoroughly purified so that only the pure, clean end product remains. The whole process is sustainable and environmentally friendly.
