Description

Potassium Lauryl Phosphate is an anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol and phosphoric acid, neutralized with potassium hydroxide. This compound is valued for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and emulsifying properties, offering a gentle alternative to harsher sulfates in personal care formulations. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the cosmetics, personal care, and industrial cleaning sectors seeking effective, mild, and biodegradable surfactants.

Application

• Personal Cleansers: Primary surfactant in sulfate-free shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and hand soaps, providing rich lather with low irritation potential.
• Cosmetic Emulsions: Acts as an emulsifier and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and makeup products, ensuring smooth texture and consistent formulation.
• Oral Care: Used as a foaming agent in mild toothpastes and mouthwashes, contributing to effective cleaning without compromising enamel or soft tissues.
• Industrial & Institutional (I&I) Cleaners: Formulated into hard surface cleaners, degreasers, and specialty detergents where mildness and biodegradability are required.
• Baby Care Products: Ideal for ultra-gentle baby shampoos, washes, and wipes due to its excellent skin compatibility.
• Pet Care: Incorporated into pet shampoos and grooming products for effective yet gentle cleaning.

Quality Control

Our Potassium Lauryl Phosphate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure consistent purity, performance, and safety for its intended applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting key parameters such as assay, pH, and moisture content are provided with every shipment. We adhere to relevant cosmetic and personal care ingredient guidelines.

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); the container must be kept tightly sealed after initial use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can affect product performance.
