Description

Calcium(2+) N6-(1-Oxooctadecyl)-L-Lysinate is a calcium salt derivative of a lysine-based surfactant, offering unique amphiphilic properties. This compound is valued for its ability to act as a mild, biodegradable emulsifier and conditioning agent, bridging the gap between synthetic and natural ingredients. It is primarily sought after by formulators in the personal care, cosmetic, and pharmaceutical industries seeking multifunctional, skin-compatible additives.

Application

• Personal Care & Cosmetics: As a primary or co-emulsifier in creams, lotions, and sunscreens for stable, elegant formulations.
• Hair Care Products: Used in conditioners and shampoos for its excellent detangling and conditioning properties.
• Skin Care: Functions as a moisturizing and skin-softening agent in anti-aging and restorative serums.
• Pharmaceutical Topicals: Employed as a non-irritating emulsifier and penetration enhancer in ointments and medicated creams.
• Biodegradable Surfactant Systems: A key component in "green" or eco-friendly detergent and cleansing formulations.
• Industrial Applications: Potential use as a corrosion inhibitor or lubricant additive in specialized aqueous systems.

Quality Control

Our Calcium(2+) N6-(1-Oxooctadecyl)-L-Lysinate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, heavy metals, microbiological limits, and other critical parameters is provided with every shipment to guarantee traceability and consistency for your formulations.

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 container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect performance and flow properties.
