Description

Sodium n-Dodecanoyl-L-Valinate is a high-purity, amino acid-derived surfactant with excellent surface activity and biocompatibility. This compound is valued for its mildness and ability to form stable foams and emulsions, making it a superior alternative to harsher conventional surfactants. It is essential for formulators in the personal care, cosmetics, and pharmaceutical industries seeking high-performance, skin-friendly ingredients.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: As a primary or co-surfactant in facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and shaving foams for its gentle cleansing and rich lather.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used in topical creams, ointments, and medicated foams as an emulsifier and penetration enhancer.
• Biochemical Research: Employed in protein chemistry and membrane studies due to its ability to solubilize proteins without denaturation.
• High-End Detergents: Incorporated into specialty cleaning formulations for delicate fabrics or surfaces where mildness is critical.
• Agricultural Adjuvants: Functions as a wetting agent or emulsifier in pesticide and herbicide formulations to improve spray coverage and efficacy.
