Description

n-Dodecyl-D-Gluconamide is a high-purity, non-ionic surfactant derived from renewable glucose and lauryl amine. This compound matters for formulators seeking effective, biodegradable, and mild surface-active agents with excellent emulsifying and conditioning properties. It is needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries for creating stable, skin-friendly formulations.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Acts as a primary emulsifier and thickener in creams, lotions, and sunscreens, providing a rich, non-greasy feel.
• Hair Conditioners: Functions as an effective conditioning agent, improving hair softness, manageability, and shine.
• Skin Cleansers: Used in mild facial cleansers and shower gels for its excellent foaming and low irritation profile.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Serves as an excipient in ointments and creams, enhancing drug delivery and formulation stability.
• Industrial Emulsifiers: Employed in the formulation of agrochemicals, coatings, and textile auxiliaries as a biodegradable surfactant.
• Research & Development: Utilized as a model compound or intermediate in biochemical and materials science research.
