Description

Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from natural fatty acid and glutamic acid. This compound matters for formulators seeking a mild, biodegradable, and skin-compatible ingredient with excellent foaming and cleansing properties. It is primarily needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and high-end detergent industries for creating premium rinse-off products.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in Facial Cleansers & Body Washes: Provides a rich, stable lather with a gentle, non-stripping feel on the skin.
• Key Ingredient in Baby Shampoos & Bath Products: Valued for its exceptional mildness and low irritation potential.
• Foam Booster/Co-surfactant in Sulfate-Free Formulations: Enhances lather quality and viscosity in systems based on glucosides or other mild surfactants.
• Cleansing Agent in Makeup Removers & Micellar Waters: Effectively removes makeup and impurities while maintaining skin comfort.
• Base for High-End Liquid Hand Soaps and Shaving Creams: Delivers a luxurious sensory profile and skin-friendly performance.
• Raw Material for Synthesis of Other Specialty Surfactants: Used in further chemical modifications to create novel amphoteric or cationic compounds.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Myristoyl Glutamate is manufactured under a cGMP-compliant quality management system. Every batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, fatty acid profile, and microbiological quality are available upon request.

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 each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
