Description

Sodium n-Myristoyl-Dl-Serinate is a high-purity, synthetic amino acid-based surfactant derived from serine and myristic acid. This compound matters for formulators seeking a mild, biodegradable, and effective amphoteric surfactant with excellent foaming and emulsifying properties. It is particularly needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries for creating gentle cleansers, shampoos, and topical formulations.

Application

• Personal Care Cleansers: A key ingredient in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, and baby shampoos due to its gentle nature on the skin and eyes.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Used in creams, lotions, and makeup removers as an emulsifier and foaming agent that enhances product texture and stability.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Employed in medicated creams, ointments, and dermatological preparations where mild surfactancy is required.
• High-End Detergents: Incorporated into premium liquid soaps and dishwashing liquids for its biodegradability and effective cleaning performance.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Suitable for formulating low-irritation, environmentally considerate cleaning products for sensitive environments.

Quality Control

Our Sodium n-Myristoyl-Dl-Serinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets precise specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, impurity profile, and physical characteristics are available upon request to support your quality assurance protocols.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure the container is kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect quality and handling properties.
