    For some reason…I can not find small quantities of this in the US.

    Have I overlooked a source?

    It seems readily available in Europe.  Can someone recommend a European supplier that ships to the US for a reasonable rate?  Since I live in Hawaii….typically the only reasonable rate is through the postal service.  All the DHL’s FedEx…etc….CRAZY expensive.

    I bought mine from Alexmo from EU.

    In the US, it seems the only have blends containing it like VegeCide or TRIstat ECO or Glycine-Benzoic Acid

    I’ve been searching for it too since formulatorsampleshop no longer carries it. I still can’t find a US supplier but naturallythinking in the UK sells it now. bayhousearomatics sells it as well but they have a minimum order amount of 50 pounds. I ‘m shipping to the US Virgin Islands so I feel your pain in regards to shipping but it seems like this is the best option.

    SkinChakra has it in stock and might ship to the USA.
    All other EU vendors I checked out, either don’t sell it or don’t ship to the States… Notably, shipping costs can be (were they to offer it one day) over $ 100.
    Unfortunately (for you), I don’t have to place an order any time soon…
    Maybe you can find glyceryl caprate or glyceryl laurate? They’re not as effective and, especially GML, show some affinity for lamellar structures and ‘co-surfactancy’ in the range of fatty alcohols or the related glyceryl palmitate and stearate.

    Trulux in Australia has it and ships internationally but I have no idea about shipping costs.
