Marketing - Cosmetics, Beauty / Ingredients | | Japanese term or phrase: ラウロイル・グルタミン酸ジ | | It seems ジ means "di-" plus whatever follows it, but that's the whole term. I can't confirm the existence of the word "lauroyl glutamate-di." Any other options? |

di ( ) lauroyl glutamate
or lauroyl glutamic acid di ( ) salt or ester
lauroyl glutamate and di (if there is another compound)
That is only thing that I can think of. Obviously something is missing. |

| Grading comment I finally realized that the part that followed in parentheses was actually related to this and gave 2 options of esters -- (phytosteryl / octyldodecyl), so I used: lauroyl glutamic acid di- (phytosteryl / octyldodecyl). THANKS!

| Notes to answerer
Asker: But nothing appears after the "di." How should I handle it when that part is absent?
