About
A lipid-like amino-acid derivative used for oil-control and conditioning, usually with moderate to low topical concern.
This ingredient is a lipophilic amino-acid derivative built from capryloyl groups and methyl alaninate chemistry, which helps it behave like a sebum-balancing conditioning active. It does not carry a clear major restriction here, but it is still a relatively niche ingredient with limited public safety literature.
