Lauroyl Glutamic Acid

Lauroyl Glutamic Acid (CAS 3397-65-7 ) is an N-acyl amino acid produced by condensing lauric acid with glutamic acid. It functions as a mild surfactant, emulsifier, and conditioning agent across personal care and food-related applications.

In skin and hair care formulations, it acts as a gentle cleansing and conditioning agent compatible with sensitive-skin products such as facial cleansers, shampoos, and body washes. Its emulsifying and wetting properties support stable oil-in-water emulsions.

In creams and lotions, it helps to disperse active ingredients evenly across the formulation. Food-grade material is evaluated as an emulsifier and surface modifier in certain processed food systems where amino acid-derived ingredients are preferred.

In functional cosmetic formulations, it contributes to pH buffering, helping formulators maintain target pH ranges without additional acidulants. This versatility makes it a valuable component for high-performance personal care products.

Lauroyl Glutamic Acid is typically supplied as a white to off-white powder or crystalline solid. Food-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are the most commonly available, with material sourced to meet specific purity requirements.

Bulk quantities are generally offered in fiber drums or multi-layer bags, with smaller packaging available for formulation and QA sampling purposes. This ensures safe handling and storage for industrial and laboratory use alike.
