The invention relates to alkyl and/or alkenyl glycerol carbamates obtained by reacting glycerol, diglycerol and/or polyglycerol carbonate with a primary and/or secondary amine of formula (I): HNR1R2. In said formula, R1 represents H or a linear and/or branched alkyl and/or alkenyl group comprising between 1 and 22 carbon atoms, R2 represents a linear and/or branched alkyl and/or alkenyl group comprising between 4 and 22 carbon atoms or a cyclic alkyl group comprising 5 or 6 carbon atoms.
