Glyceryl dilaurate

Glyceryl dilaurate (CAS 27638-00-2 ), also known as Dilauroyl-rac-glycerol, is a glycerol diester of lauric acid used as an emulsifier and carrier in pharmaceutical, food, and cosmetic formulations.

It enables stable oil-in-water and water-in-oil systems where controlled lipid composition is required. In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it functions as a lipid excipient in self-emulsifying drug delivery systems.

This material improves the oral bioavailability of poorly soluble active ingredients. Cosmetic formulators incorporate it into creams, lotions, and skin conditioning products where a medium-chain lipid emulsifier is needed.

It stabilizes the emulsion matrix effectively across various personal care applications. In food applications, it acts as an emulsifying agent in fat-based systems, contributing to texture and phase stability.

The compound is also used as a carrier in lipid-based encapsulation systems for nutraceutical and functional ingredient delivery. It is typically supplied as a solid waxy material or flakes for industrial use.

It is available in technical and pharmaceutical-grade specifications to meet the purity requirements of different regulated industries. Buyers should confirm compliance with relevant pharmacopeial or food additive standards.

Quality standards such as USP , Ph.Eur. , BP , or FCC may apply depending on the specific grade and intended application. This ensures the material meets the necessary safety and performance criteria.
