Description

Lauroyl Collagen Amino Acids is a high-purity, surface-active derivative of hydrolyzed collagen, where lauric acid is covalently linked to collagen-derived amino acids. This modification significantly enhances its emulsifying, conditioning, and film-forming properties, making it a superior ingredient for advanced personal care formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the cosmetics, skincare, and premium haircare industries seeking natural-derived performance actives.

Application

• Premium Skincare Products: Acts as a high-efficacy moisturizer and skin-conditioning agent in anti-aging serums, creams, and lotions, improving skin elasticity and texture.
• Advanced Hair Care Systems: Used in shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks to provide excellent detangling, shine enhancement, and repair of damaged hair fibers.
• Cleansing & Foaming Formulations: Serves as a mild surfactant and foam booster in facial cleansers, shower gels, and shaving products, offering gentle cleansing with low irritation potential.
• Sunscreen & Make-up Products: Functions as a dispersing agent and emollient, helping to stabilize pigments and UV filters while providing a smooth, non-greasy skin feel.
• Biomedical & Cosmecutical Applications: Investigated for use in topical delivery systems and wound healing formulations due to its biocompatibility and bioactive properties.

Quality Control

Our Lauroyl Collagen Amino Acids are manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and performance. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, fatty acid content, and microbiological purity are provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant cosmetic ingredient standards (e.g., ISO 16128 for natural origin index) and good manufacturing practices (GMP).

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). Keep the container tightly sealed after each use to minimize exposure to atmospheric moisture, which can affect product stability and flow properties.
