Is Isostearamidopropyl Morpholine Lactate natural?

Mostly. Natural isostearic-acid amide and natural lactate salt outweigh the synthetic morpholine-based amine fragment.

How we scored it

Formula checks exactly: isostearic amide (267 Da, natural) + aminopropylmorpholine (143 Da, petrochemical amine) + lactic acid (90 Da, natural ferment) = 501 Da; (267+90)/501=0.71.
What counts. ISO 16128-2 scores the atoms that remain in the final ingredient. Reagents, solvents, catalysts and protecting groups used during manufacture leave no mass behind and are not counted.

Where it comes from

Made by amidating oleochemical isostearic acid with a petrochemical morpholine-based amine, then neutralising with fermentation-derived lactic acid. The fatty acid and lactate together dominate the mass.

In plain English

An anti-static ingredient combining a plant or animal-fat-derived fatty acid, a synthetic amine, and natural lactic acid. Helps reduce static in hair and skin products.
