Sensorial difference between isoamyl laurate and lauryl laurate
Just wondering what I can expect if switching out the isoamyl for laurate in a lotion or cream formula?

Hehe….use them together… This is the perfect example of a cascading pair. IL is obviously liquid at most any temp it will be exposed to, and the LL (especially the one from FSS) will be a solid…that immediately melts upon contact with skin.
I can’t imagine a better synergy.
I also like using LL…where I want a very thick cream.
Apply them both neat to your skin…and observe for 30 min. (And question answered.) @GeorgeBenson

isoamyl laurate is a thin fluid with low viscosity, and lauryl laurate is a wax; the former will give a lighter and less greasy skin feel than the latter
