Laurocapram

Product Description

Laurocapram, widely known in the industry as Azone, is a premier oil-soluble penetration enhancer synthesized in our facility to ensure ultra-high purity and low odor. It functions through a sophisticated scientific mechanism of temporarily perturbing the highly organized lipid bilayer of the stratum corneum, significantly increasing the skin’s permeability for both hydrophilic and lipophilic actives. As the dermo-cosmetic market demands faster and deeper results, Laurocapram serves as the essential "delivery engine" for high-performance functional formulations.

Key Benefits & Applications

• Unrivaled Transdermal Delivery: Acts as a powerful "carrier" that accelerates the absorption of active ingredients such as vitamins, peptides, and brightening agents.
• Efficacy Amplification: Allows for lower concentrations of expensive actives while maintaining or enhancing clinical results, reducing potential irritation from high-load formulas.
• Non-Irritating Profile: Specifically designed for cosmetic safety, offering a high degree of biocompatibility compared to traditional harsh solvents.
• Broad Formulation Scope: Excellent for use in intensive anti-aging serums, hair growth stimulants, and localized body slimming treatments.

Formulation Guidelines

• Recommended Dosage: 0.5% – 2.0% (Typically optimized at 1.0% for most leave-on products).
• Processing: Should be added to the oil phase; compatible with cold processing or hot emulsification (stable up to 80°C).
• Texture Impact: Being an oily liquid, it can slightly modify the emolliency of the final product, contributing to a smoother application.
• Synergy: Combine with Phenylethyl Resorcinol to dramatically enhance the delivery of the whitening active into the basal layer for rapid pigment correction.
