Description

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a high-purity, mild anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil and acetic acid. This versatile compound is prized for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and emulsifying properties, making it a superior alternative to harsher sulfates like Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). It is an essential ingredient for formulators seeking effective, skin-friendly, and biodegradable components. Key industries that rely on this material include personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and household cleaning products.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Primary surfactant in facial cleansers, shower gels, shampoos (especially for sensitive skin and baby care), and shaving creams due to its mildness and rich lather.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as an emulsifying and wetting agent in topical creams, ointments, and medicated cleansers.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Key foaming agent in dishwashing liquids, all-purpose cleaners, and car wash formulations for its degreasing power.
• Oral Care Products: Employed as a foaming agent in toothpastes and mouthwashes.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, dispersant, and emulsifier in various processing baths.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Used in pesticide and herbicide formulations to enhance spreading and wetting on plant surfaces.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We offer grades suitable for cosmetic, pharmaceutical, and industrial applications, with quality parameters aligned to relevant industry expectations. Each batch is tested to ensure consistent purity, performance, and safety. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key specifications are available upon request to support your quality assurance and regulatory compliance needs.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent caking or degradation due to moisture absorption. Keep away from strong oxidizing agents.
