Description: Lauroyl lysine is an amino acid derivative made from the natural coconut fatty acid, coconut oil. The chemical name for lauroyl lysine is N6-(1-oxododecyl)-L-lysine, and the International Nomenclature of Cosmetic Ingredients, INCI, lists the primary functions of lauroyl lysine as hair conditioning, skin conditioning and viscosity control. However, the INCI only lists the purported functions of ingredients used in cosmetic products; it does not provide actual medical information about the effectiveness or results of a specific ingredient, including lauroyl lysine.
