Description

LAUROCAPRAM is a percutaneous permeation enhancer facilitating absorption of different chemicals upon their application to the skin. Its enhancing effect is associated with different mechanisms: incorporation of its dodecyl group into the lipid bilayer, an increase of the motion of the alkylic chains of lipids, and lipid fluidization.
