Description

Sodium Hydrogen n-(1-Oxotetradecyl)-L-Glutamate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from L-glutamic acid and myristic acid, offering excellent emulsifying, foaming, and conditioning properties. This compound matters for formulators seeking mild, biodegradable, and skin-compatible ingredients with strong performance in challenging formulations. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and high-end cleaning industries for creating premium rinse-off products, shampoos, and gentle cleansers.

Application

• Primary Surfactant/Cleansing Agent in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, and shampoos.
• Foam Booster & Stabilizer in personal care formulations to enhance richness and longevity of lather.
• Emulsifier for oil-in-water (O/W) systems in lotions, creams, and conditioners.
• Skin & Hair Conditioning Agent that provides a soft, smooth after-feel without irritation.
• Component in Syndet Bars (synthetic detergent bars) as a mild alternative to traditional soaps.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning for formulations requiring high biodegradability and low aquatic toxicity.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Hydrogen n-(1-Oxotetridecyl)-L-Glutamate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We provide material compliant with relevant cosmetic ingredient standards (e.g., ISO 16128 for natural origin index) and can support requirements for global regulations such as REACH. Each batch is accompanied by a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing purity, identity, and key physical-chemical parameters to ensure consistency and performance in your application.

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 material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the original container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption and caking.
