About

Lysine Lauroyl Methionate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Lysine Lauroyl Methionate is a salt of a fatty acid ester of the essential amino acids lysine and methionine, functioning as a mild surfactant and skin-conditioning agent. Amino acid-based surfactants are generally recognized for their excellent dermatological profiles and environmental compatibility. Without a CAS number, specific regulatory entries cannot be confirmed; however, this ingredient class is not subject to restrictions in EU Annex II or III under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.

Skin benefits

  • Mild surfactant suitable for sensitive skin formulations
  • Provides conditioning benefits from amino acid structure

Known concerns
