Description

Sodium Sarcosinate is the sodium salt of sarcosine, an amino acid derivative. This versatile surfactant and foaming agent is prized for its excellent mildness, biodegradability, and compatibility with other ingredients. It is a critical component for formulators seeking gentle yet effective performance in personal care and industrial applications. Key industries include cosmetics, home care, and industrial cleaning.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: A primary mild surfactant in facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and shaving foams, where it provides rich lather without stripping skin or hair.
• Oral Care: Used in toothpaste and mouthwash formulations as a foaming agent and mild cleaning surfactant.
• Home Care Products: An effective ingredient in liquid dish soaps, all-purpose cleaners, and fine fabric detergents for its grease-cutting and foaming properties.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaning: Employed in formulations for hard surface cleaners, metal degreasers, and vehicle wash systems.
• Textile & Leather Processing: Acts as a wetting agent, leveling agent, and softener in various processing baths.
• Chemical Synthesis: Serves as an intermediate or a buffering agent in organic synthesis and pharmaceutical manufacturing.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Sarcosinate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards and consistent performance specifications relevant to its target application, whether for cosmetic, industrial, or technical use.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); ensure containers are kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or reduced efficacy.
