About
Dipotassium Capryloyl Glutamate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Dipotassium Capryloyl Glutamate is the dipotassium salt of N-capryloylglutamic acid, an amino acid (glutamic acid) derivative. It functions as a hair and skin conditioning agent and is structurally similar to other approved acyl glutamate surfactants (e.g., potassium cocoyl glutamate) which are widely used in gentle skin and hair cleansers. Amino acid-based surfactants are considered mild and are not subject to specific restrictions under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
