"Glycol" means a dihydric alcohol (glycol) as the alcoholic component of this ingredient (here neopentyl glycol). Laurates are esters of lauric acid. Neopentyl glycol dilaurate is used in cosmetic formulations. The glycol ester acts as an emulsifier (changes the interfacial tension of liquids like water and oil so that they can be mixed together) and as a skin care product.
