Introduction

Sodium lauroyl glutamate is a versatile anionic surfactant which is derived from glutamic acid and lauric acid, combining to form a mild yet effective cleansing agent. Its molecular structure allows for excellent solubility in water, making it suitable for various formulations requiring gentle cleansing and foaming properties.

Characteristics

Sodium lauroyl glutamate distinguishes itself with several key characteristics that make it highly desirable in skincare and haircare formulations:

• Mildness and Low Irritation: Unlike many surfactants, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is renowned for its gentle nature, making it suitable for sensitive skin types.
• Broad pH Stability: It exhibits stability across a wide pH range, ensuring consistent performance in formulations that may vary in acidity or alkalinity.
• Foaming Properties: This surfactant produces fine and dense foam, contributing to the luxurious sensory experience in cleansing products.
• Moisturizing Effect: After use, it leaves the skin feeling moisturized and supple, avoiding the common issue of dryness associated with harsher cleansing agents.
• Compatibility: It demonstrates excellent compatibility with other anionic surfactants, thereby enhancing formulation flexibility and reducing potential skin irritation.
