About
A multifunctional ingredient combining vitamin E (tocopherol) phosphate with a lauric amino acid derivative, providing antioxidant, conditioning, and cleansing benefits.
Disodium Lauriminodipropionate Tocopheryl Phosphates is the disodium salt of a complex mixture of esters formed by reacting tocopherol phosphate with lauriminodipropionic acid, combining antioxidant vitamin E chemistry with amino acid-derived surfactant properties. The phosphate ester of tocopherol provides a stable, delivery-ready form of vitamin E that resists oxidation during formulation storage. Vitamin E (tocopherol) and its derivatives are not restricted in EU cosmetic regulation and are considered among the safest and most well-studied cosmetic antioxidants. The lauriminodipropionate moiety acts as an amino acid-based surfactant.
Function
Skin benefits
- Vitamin E phosphate provides sustained antioxidant protection against free radical damage
- Multifunctional surfactant properties support cleansing, foaming, and conditioning simultaneously
Known concerns
- Tocopherol phosphate moiety may contain trace free tocopherol which can act as a mild photosensitizer in very rare cases
- Phosphate groups may interact with hard water ions in some formulations
