In its new edition, Graxaria Brasileira magazine published an article written by our specialist Maria Thereza, broker at Aboissa's Oleochemical Products unit, about the benefits of lauric acid in the household and personal care products industry.
Lauric acid is a medium-chain saturated fatty acid found in vegetable oils such as coconut and palm kernel oil. Due to its antimicrobial, emulsifying and foaming properties, lauric acid has a wide range of applications in industry.
In the article, Maria Thereza highlights the importance of lauric acid in the market, as it offers high foaming power, creaminess and stability, resulting in higher quality final products compared to those formulated from oils. Lauric acid also has bactericidal properties, which contributes to the preservation of final product formulations.
