Lauryl refers to a fatty alcohol chain (lauryl alcohol) or its derivatives, often used as a surfactant or emulsifier in cosmetics. It helps to mix oil and water, create foam, and cleanse the skin or hair. The specific function depends on the compound it is part of, such as sodium lauryl sulfate or lauryl glucoside.
