Trilauryl phosphate is a phosphoric acid - lauryl triester which is used in cosmetic formulations. Lauryl alcohol, a long-chain monohydric fatty alcohol, is the alcoholic component of the triester. "Phosphates" refers to salts/esters of phosphoric acid.
The ester compound is used in cosmetic formulations. It acts as surfactant (washing-active substance; improves the even distribution of the products during application) and as skin care product.
