Description

Sodium Dilaureth Citrate is a versatile, high-purity surfactant and emulsifier derived from citric acid and lauryl alcohol. This compound matters for formulators seeking a mild, biodegradable, and highly effective ingredient with excellent foaming and cleansing properties. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and household cleaning industries for creating gentle yet high-performance products.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in Mild Cleansers: Used in sulfate-free shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers for its gentle, non-irritating properties.
• Foam Booster & Stabilizer: Enhances and stabilizes foam in liquid soaps, hand washes, and bubble baths.
• Emulsifying Agent: Effective for creating stable oil-in-water (O/W) emulsions in lotions, creams, and conditioners.
• Cosmetic Formulations: A key ingredient in makeup removers, micellar waters, and baby care products due to its excellent compatibility with skin.
• Household & Industrial Cleaners: Utilized in light-duty dishwashing liquids and all-purpose cleaners for its biodegradability and detergency.
• Co-surfactant in Complex Systems: Works synergistically with other anionic and amphoteric surfactants to improve overall performance and mildness.
