About
N-Decanoyl Serinol is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
N-Decanoyl Serinol is the C10 (capric acid) analog of the palmitoyl serinol family, pairing a medium-chain fatty acid with the serinol (vitamin B6-related) head group. The shorter chain length imparts lighter texture and faster absorption compared to the C16 palmitoyl version. No EU Annex II or III restrictions apply. Its lipid-amide structure is compatible with skin barrier chemistry, making it a versatile emollient and barrier-strengthening ingredient suitable for sensitive skin.
