Description

n-α-Lauroyl-L-Glutamine is a high-purity, synthetic amino acid derivative designed for advanced formulation chemistry. This compound matters for its role as a versatile, skin-compatible building block that enables the creation of high-performance, gentle personal care and cosmetic products. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the cosmetics, pharmaceutical, and high-end detergent industries seeking to enhance product mildness, stability, and bio-functionality.

Application

• Cosmetic & Personal Care Formulations: As a key surfactant or emulsifier in facial cleansers, shampoos, and body washes, prized for its excellent mildness and skin-conditioning properties.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a specialized precursor or active ingredient component in the synthesis of novel peptide-based drugs and dermatological preparations.
• High-End Detergents: Incorporated into premium liquid soaps and dishwashing formulations where low irritation and superior foaming characteristics are required.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a substrate or standard in enzymatic studies and biochemical assays exploring glutamine metabolism or peptide synthesis pathways.
• Hair Care Products: Functions as a conditioning agent and foam booster in shampoos and conditioners to improve manageability and sensory profile.
• Skin Care Serums & Creams: Employed for its potential moisturizing and skin-barrier reinforcing effects in anti-aging and restorative skincare products.

Quality Control

Our n-α-Lauroyl-L-Glutamine is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing, including HPLC for purity and identity confirmation, to ensure it meets stringent specifications for cosmetic and pharmaceutical-grade intermediates. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, heavy metals, residual solvents, and microbiological data are provided with every shipment to guarantee supply reliability and consistent performance in your formulations.

Storage

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