Sodium lauroyl glutamate

Sodium lauroyl glutamate (CAS 29923-31-7 ) is an amino acid-based anionic surfactant derived from glutamic acid and lauric acid. It delivers effective cleansing and foaming performance while maintaining a mild, skin-compatible profile. This chemical is a preferred active in formulations where conventional sulfate surfactants are unsuitable. In personal care, it functions as the primary or co-surfactant in facial cleansers, shampoos, and body washes. It is ideal for applications where low irritation potential is a formulation requirement. It also supports emulsification and wetting in leave-on skincare products, improving ingredient dispersion across the skin surface. In premium baby care and sensitive-skin product lines, it replaces harsher anionic surfactants without sacrificing foam quality. Food-contact and oral care applications also utilize its surface-active properties. Sodium lauroyl glutamate is supplied as a white to off-white powder or as an aqueous paste, depending on concentration. Standard market grades include cosmetic-grade and food-grade specifications for various uses. Purity is typically confirmed against established quality benchmarks such as FCC or USP standards. Buyers should confirm active content, pH range, and particle size with suppliers when specifying for use. The material is valued for its biodegradability and compatibility with a wide range of other surfactants. It remains a staple for formulators seeking high-performance, sustainable, and gentle cleansing solutions. Contact us for supply of Sodium lauroyl glutamate Request Quote
