Lauroyl Lysine is a derivative of the amino acid lysine and lauric acid, a fine powder. INCI: Lauroyl Lysine. In a formula it works as a conditioning and texturizing agent: it gives a silky slip, improves the spread of powders and sticks, and reduces particle caking. It is a functional sensory component, not a skincare active. It is used in color cosmetics, powders, stick deodorants, and creams for a velvety texture. Pregnancy safety. It barely penetrates intact skin, is systemically negligible, and there is no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin.
