Description

Potassium Lauroyl Glutamate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from natural amino acid and fatty acid sources. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming properties, mildness, and superior biodegradability, making it a key ingredient in modern, eco-conscious formulations. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and home care industries seeking effective, skin-friendly, and sustainable raw materials.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in Mild Cleansers: Used in facial cleansers, shower gels, and baby shampoos for its gentle, non-irritating properties.
• Foam Booster & Stabilizer: Enhances and stabilizes foam in sulfate-free and natural cosmetic formulations.
• High-End Skincare Products: Incorporated into cleansing oils, micellar waters, and cream-based cleansers for a luxurious feel.
• Oral Care Applications: Serves as a mild foaming agent in toothpastes and mouthwashes.
• Household & I&I Cleaning: Used in premium dishwashing liquids and all-purpose cleaners where mildness and environmental profile are key.
• Biodegradable Formulations: A preferred choice for "green" and certified natural/organic product lines.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Lauroyl Glutamate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets high-purity standards suitable for personal care and cosmetic applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, pH, and appearance are available upon request.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); keep the container tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
