saturated fatty acid found in coconut and palm kernel oils
Lauric Acid, also known as Dodecanoic Acid, is a saturated fatty acid commonly found in coconut oil and palm kernel oil. It is known for its antimicrobial properties and is often used in the production of soaps, shampoos, and other personal care products. Lauric Acid can also play a role in promoting hair health by reducing protein loss and providing a protective barrier to the hair shaft.
