Description

Sodium n-(2-Hydroxydodecyl)-n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-β-Alaninate is a high-performance, amphoteric surfactant derived from β-alanine, valued for its excellent mildness, foaming properties, and compatibility with a wide range of cosmetic and personal care formulations. Its unique molecular structure provides superior detergency and skin compatibility, making it a key ingredient for products requiring gentle yet effective cleansing. This compound is primarily sought by manufacturers in the personal care, home care, and industrial cleaning sectors for formulating mild shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and specialty detergents.

Application

• Mild Personal Cleansers: A primary surfactant in baby shampoos, sensitive skin facial washes, and sulfate-free body washes due to its low irritation profile.
• High-Foaming Products: Used in shampoos, shower gels, and hand soaps to generate rich, stable, and creamy lather.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Serves as a co-surfactant or primary cleanser in makeup removers, cleansing milks, and micellar waters.
• Home Care Products: Incorporated into premium liquid dishwashing detergents and fine fabric washes for effective, gentle cleaning.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Applied in formulations for floor cleaners, vehicle washes, and other applications requiring high detergency with good biodegradability.
• Synergistic Blends: Often combined with other anionic, nonionic, or amphoteric surfactants to enhance performance, improve viscosity, and reduce overall formulation cost.

Quality Control

Our Sodium n-(2-Hydroxydodecyl)-n-(2-Hydroxyethyl)-β-Alaninate is manufactured under a strict quality management system to ensure batch-to-batch consistency and high performance. Quality is verified through comprehensive analytical testing including assay, identification, and impurity profiling. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, active matter content, pH, and other critical parameters are available for every batch upon request, supporting compliance with global cosmetic ingredient standards.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area at 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 affect product quality and handling properties.
