Methyl glucose laurate is an esterification product of lauric acid (dodecanoic acid) with methyl glucose. Methyl glucose laurate is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as emollient (makes the skin smooth and supple), emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together) and skin care product.
