Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate (IPLS), the ultra-light amino acid derived highly-polar emollient oil is an innovative, amino acid–derived emollient ester. Its exceptional polarity enables it to dissolve functional ingredients such as organic UV filters, even ceramides and to disperse UV scattering agents, thereby unlocking new possibilities and greater flexibility in formulation design especially for suncare products. With its low viscosity and low interfacial tension, IPLS delivers a silicone like lightness and spreadability, elevating sensorial appeal while providing a greener complement to existing silicone oils such as D5, D6 and dimethicone. Its strong compatibility with a wide range of emollient oils and difficult to dissolve or disperse materials further enhances versatility, which motivates formulators to create innovative textures with ease and confidence. Suncare products become important not only in summer but also in winter because of winter sports or annual travel globally, which means suncare product will be used more frequently and will be essential. Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate is one of the best solutions for development of sustainable and functional solar care products.
