A new line of natural coconut oil-based, multifunctional cosmetic ingredients with gentle antimicrobial action that promotes optimal skin flora for naturally beautiful skin is here. Developed by Copperhead Chemical Company, these ingredients are prepared by a patented, green process that harnesses the efficacy of medium-chain coconut oil esters to improve formulations, enhance skin feel and help naturally preserve products.


Laurest 1220 and Biopolysan 220B are water soluble, elegant polyglycerol  ester blends made from natural and sustainable raw materials; coconut oil and vegetable-based, non-GMO diglycerol. The gentle antimicrobial aspects of these ingredients augment and enhance the skin’s natural defenses against microorganisms by delivering water soluble fatty acid esters to the skin that help to promote a healthy skin microbiome.  The antimicrobial properties of these products are stronger than those of most essential oils, according to Copperhead.


From self-preserving to broad spectrum, these ingredients are easy to formulate with, provide a luxurious skin feel, promote stable emulsions and simplify preservation strategies. The product offering includes a broad-spectrum combination with benzyl alcohol.
