Why do we use sodium dilauramidoglutamide lysine?
Sodium dilauramidoglutamide lysine comes from plants. It works in two ways in skincare products: an emulsifier and a surfactant. As an emulsifier, it stops ingredients from separating. As a surfactant, it helps skin renew itself. Sodium dilauramidoglutamide lysine can bond to skin effectively because its structure is similar to ceramides found naturally in skin.
