Description

L-Alanine, n-Coco Acyl Derivs., Sodium Salts is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from the amino acid L-alanine and coconut fatty acids. This specialty chemical is valued for its excellent foaming, cleansing, and mildness properties, making it a superior alternative to harsher surfactants. It is primarily sought after by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetic, and high-end detergent industries for formulating gentle yet effective products.

Application

• Personal Care Cleansers: A key ingredient in mild facial cleansers, shower gels, and shampoos, providing rich foam without stripping the skin or hair.
• Baby Care Products: Used in baby shampoos, bath products, and wipes due to its exceptional mildness and low irritation potential.
• Cosmetic Formulations: Serves as a primary surfactant in makeup removers, micellar waters, and sensitive skin formulations.
• Premium Liquid Soaps & Syndet Bars: Imparts a luxurious feel and stable lather in high-end hand soaps, body washes, and synthetic detergent bars.
• Oral Care: Employed in mild toothpastes and mouthwashes for its effective cleaning and compatibility with oral mucosa.
• Industrial & Institutional Cleaners: Used in formulations where a biodegradable, high-foaming, and skin-friendly surfactant is required.
