Isoamyl laurate

Isoamyl laurate (CAS 6309-51-9), also known as isopentyl laurate and carrying FEMA 2077 status, is a fatty acid ester used as a flavoring agent and emollient across food and personal care applications.

Its mild, waxy character makes it suitable as a carrier and dispersing medium in formulations where clean sensory profiles are required. In food and beverage manufacturing, it functions as a FEMA-approved flavoring ingredient.

It contributes to creamy, fatty, or coconut-adjacent flavor profiles in confectionery, dairy analogs, and beverage systems. Personal care formulators use it as an emollient and skin-feel modifier in lotions and lip products.

In color cosmetics, it improves spreadability without leaving a heavy residue. It also acts as a solvent and carrier for fragrance compounds and active ingredients in both leave-on and rinse-off formulations.

In flavor concentrate production, it serves as a diluent that maintains stability and homogeneity of complex flavor blends. This versatility makes it a staple for manufacturers seeking high-performance esters.

Isoamyl laurate is supplied as a clear to pale yellow liquid. It is available in cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications to meet the requirements of personal care and flavoring applications respectively.

Bulk supply is standard for industrial buyers, with smaller pack sizes available for formulation development. Our material meets rigorous quality benchmarks to ensure consistency across diverse production batches.
