Introduction
WATEC®LL, derived from L-Lysine (an amino acid) and lauric acid, is a highly lubricious functional powder ideally suited for make-up products, pressed powders, loose powders, creams and lotions and hair care products. 
As a small molecular organic material based on fatty acid, it imparts a soft and silky feel to the skin as well as excellent emolliency, and also can relieve drying feel of inorganic powders. The particles have flat and hexagonal shape, resulting in excellent adherence to skin which provides long wearing properties.
The hydrophobic characteristic of WATEC®LL improves the water resistance of make-up preparations and improves the flow and spreadability of oil/powder mixtures.
In hair care and skin care products, WATEC®LL will act as a conditioning agent leaving skin and hair with a smooth and silky feel
