Description

n-Dodecanoylglutamic Acid Sodium Salt is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from glutamic acid and lauric acid. This compound is valued for its excellent emulsifying, foaming, and mild cleansing properties, making it a key ingredient in premium personal care formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, skincare, and high-end detergent industries for creating gentle, biodegradable, and high-performance products.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in Mild Cleansers: Used in facial cleansers, shower gels, and baby shampoos for its superior mildness and skin compatibility.
• Foaming Agent in Cosmetics: Enhances foam quality and stability in shaving creams, mousses, and bubble baths.
• Emulsifier in Skincare: Facilitates the formation of stable oil-in-water emulsions in lotions, creams, and serums.
• Ingredient in High-End Detergents: Incorporated into premium liquid soaps and dishwashing liquids for effective yet gentle cleaning.
• Intermediate for Specialty Chemicals: Serves as a building block for synthesizing more complex amphoteric or cationic surfactants.
