Phytosteryl/Behenyl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate
Phytosteryl/Behenyl/Octyldodecyl Lauroyl Glutamate is an ester compound derived from lauroyl glutamic acid (n-dodecanoylglutamic acid) combined with phytosterol (sigmast-5-en-3-ol), behenyl alcohol (docosanol), and octyldodecanol. It is classified under skin conditioning in the official CosIng database. It appears frequently in rich creams, eye creams, lip products, and moisturizers across prestige and mass-market skincare lines.
As a skin conditioning agent, it is used to improve the feel and appearance of skin by supporting surface smoothness and moisture retention. Its glutamate-derived and phytosterol-containing structure suggests emollient and barrier-supportive properties, though the source does not provide explicit clinical benefit claims.
