What does Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate do in skincare?
Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate is an amino-acid-derived ingredient used as an emollient and texture or viscosity helper. In creams and balms it can support a smooth, conditioned feel and assist in structuring the oil phase of a formula.
Is Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate safe?
This ingredient is built from plant sterols, a fatty alcohol, and a glutamic acid component and is generally treated as a mild, skin-friendly material. Individual sensitivity is always possible, so a patch test is sensible for reactive skin.
Is Phytosteryl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate vegan?
The phytosteryl portion is plant-derived and the glutamate component can also be made without animal sources, so the ingredient is commonly plant-based. A product's overall vegan status still depends on its full formulation and the brand's practices.
