Description

n-Docosanoyl Taurine is a high-purity, long-chain fatty acid amide derivative of the amino acid taurine, known for its excellent surfactant and emulsifying properties. This compound is valued for its ability to enhance stability, compatibility, and performance in formulations requiring mild yet effective surface activity. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and specialty chemical industries seeking advanced ingredients for skin-friendly products.

Application

• Primary surfactant or co-surfactant in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, and shampoos.
• Key emulsifying agent in skin creams, lotions, and sun care products to stabilize oil-in-water systems.
• Foam booster and viscosity modifier in high-end cosmetic formulations.
• Intermediate for the synthesis of more complex specialty surfactants and amphoteric compounds.
• Additive in industrial cleaning and degreasing formulations where mildness is required.
• Component in pharmaceutical topical delivery systems for its skin penetration enhancement properties.
