Glyceryl Laurate is not a soap base. Lauric acid is an all-natural solid fatty acid derived from plants. Soap bases are a mixture of fatty acids and lye, but lauric acid can be added to soap bases. Both of these substances can be used as surfactants in facial cleansing products. They can add lather to facial cleansers, but lauric acid is much milder than soap base. Since both have strong cleansing ability, they are often used as additives to facial cleansers and are used occasionally to remove oil and debris from the surface of the skin for oily skin, but not for long term use. It is not recommended for sensitive skin because the sensitive skin itself has a relatively thin stratum corneum. Long-term use of facial cleanser containing two ingredients will damage the stratum corneum, may also lead to more serious skin problems, such as dry hair, itching, skin atrophy, etc. In the use of glyceryl laurate must pay attention to the way and method, if there is dryness and itching, skin atrophy, immediately go to the hospital for treatment, do not be negligent, so as not to delay the condition.
