Description

Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is a high-purity, anionic surfactant derived from natural amino acids and fatty acids. This compound matters for formulators seeking a mild, biodegradable, and skin-compatible alternative to traditional sulfates and other harsh surfactants. It is needed by manufacturers in the personal care, cosmetics, and premium detergent industries for creating gentle cleansing products.

Application

• Primary Surfactant in Mild Cleansers: Used in facial cleansers, shower gels, and baby shampoos for its excellent foaming and non-irritating properties.
• Co-surfactant in Syndet Bars: Enhances mildness and lather stability in synthetic detergent bars.
• Foam Booster & Stabilizer: Incorporated into formulations to improve foam quality and creaminess in liquid and cream-based products.
• Cosmetic Emulsifier: Functions as an emulsifying agent in lotions and creams, particularly those with a focus on natural or sensitive skin claims.
• Oral Care Applications: Suitable as a mild foaming agent in toothpaste and mouthwash formulations.
• High-end Home Care: Used in premium dishwashing liquids and all-purpose cleaners where biodegradability and skin safety are valued.

Quality Control

Our Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is manufactured under a strict quality management system. We ensure compliance with relevant cosmetic and personal care ingredient standards. Comprehensive batch testing is performed, and a Certificate of Analysis (COA) documenting purity, identity, and key physical parameters is available for every shipment.

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 original container tightly sealed when not in use to prevent caking or degradation due to moisture absorption.
