Cosmetic Grade Sodium Lauryl Glutamate Powder CAS 29923-31-7 Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
Products Description
- Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is an amino acid derived surfactant widely used in personal care and cosmetic products. It is a sodium salt formed by the reaction of lauric acid and glutamic acid, and has good cleaning and mildness.
- Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate has good solubility in water and can form transparent solutions. This is because the hydrophilic groups in its molecular structure can form hydrogen bonds and other interactions with water molecules. Meanwhile, it also has certain lipophilicity and can interact with lipid substances, so it can play an emulsifying role in oil-water mixed systems.
- Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate produces rich, fine, and stable foam. When used in cleansing products (such as facial cleansers, body washes, etc.), it can generate a large amount of fine foam, which can effectively clean dirt, oil and other impurities on the skin or other surfaces, and the foam has good durability.
- Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is a multifunctional surfactant with multiple functions such as cleansing, foaming and mildness. Its wide application in personal care and cosmetics makes it one of the most important ingredients in modern skin care and cleansing formulations.
Function
- Surfactant: As an anionic surfactant, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate effectively reduces the surface tension of water, helping cleansing products remove dirt and grease.
- Mildness: Compared to traditional surfactants, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is generally milder to the skin and suitable for use on sensitive skin, reducing the risk of irritation and allergies.
- Foaming agent: Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate can produce rich foam and enhance the product experience. It is commonly used in shampoo, shower gel and facial cleanser.
- Emulsifier: In some formulations, it can also act as an emulsifier to help the oil and water phases mix to form a stable emulsion.
Applications
- Personal Care Products
Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is widely used in the personal care industry. As one of the main components of facial cleansing products (such as facial cleansers), it can gently clean the skin, remove dirt and excess oil, and is less irritating to the skin.
In body washes, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate can produce rich foam, providing users with a comfortable bathing experience and will not overly dry the skin.
In hair care products (such as shampoos), Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate can clean the hair and scalp, reduce static electricity among hairs, and make the hair softer.
- Household Cleaning Products
Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is also used in some household cleaning products, such as dishwashing detergents. It can effectively remove oil stains on the surfaces of tableware and kitchen utensils, and its good emulsifying performance can prevent the oil stains from reattaching. Meanwhile, the rich foam it generates helps to make the cleaning process more thorough.
- Food Industry (under compliance with food-grade standards)
Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate also has a few applications in the food industry. For example, in the processing of some foods, it can be used as an emulsifier or dispersant to help maintain the texture and stability of the foods. However, in food applications, relevant food safety regulations and standards must be strictly followed.
