Rhatany’s (Krameria Triandra) habitat is primarily Peru and Bolivia. However, various species are known to be found in the desert southwest of the United States.
Laneth-15 is ethoxylated lanolin alcohol with 15 moles of ethylene oxide, a nonionic surface active agent with a remarkable blend of branched-chain alcohols and sterols. Due to these natural skin-moisturizing lipids, this ingredient possesses significant emollience.
Rich in cholesterol, lanolin is well suited for the treatment of brittle hair and fingernails and dry and raw elbows, knees, and feet.
Lanolin Alcohol is an amber solid with a waxy consistency and faint odor. It is used as an emulsifier, stabilizer, thickener, moisturizer, and conditioning agent in personal care applications.
Lanolin oil is the lower melting point esters (liquid fraction) of lanolin, derived from the wool of sheep. It has a very characteristic odor.
Lanolin Wax is a lanolin derivative (a more dense and solid fraction of lanolin). It is a yellow-to-tan waxy solid with a mild, pleasant odor. Its melting range is close to body temperature, 41-51°C, so it can be used as a natural moisturizing emollient in body lotions.
Lauramine Oxide is an amine oxide surfactant. It is water soluble and supplied as a 30% active solution, which is a clear, light yellow liquid.
Lauroyl Lysine is a fine white powder, a perfect organic powder for makeup, hair, and skincare products. Its hydrophobic characteristic improves makeup water resistance and improves the flow and spread of the oil/powder mixture.
Lauryl Betaine is an amphoteric surfactant that is hydrolytically stable, biodegradable, and colorless, with low odor.
Lauryl Methyl Gluceth-10 Hydroxypropyldimonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt of ethoxylated methyl glucose and dimethyl dodecyl ammonium substituted epoxide.
