Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate – Advantages of Amino Acid Surfactants

Amino acid-based surfactants in daily chemical products are characterized by their mildness, low irritation, high activity, and strong cleansing power, making them a popular direction in the cosmetics industry,they are widely favored by both consumers and manufacturers. Through independent research and development, Bais Chemical Technology now introduces an efficient and safe amino acid surfactant product—Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate(CAS:137-16-6). As an anionic amino acid surfactant, it is recognized as a safe substance by the EU Cosmetics Ingredient Database (CosIng) and the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Key Advantages of Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate

Market Choice – Mild, Antibacterial, Hypoallergenic, and High Efficiency

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is a widely used, cost-effective amino acid anionic surfactant. Its protein-like structure provides excellent softening and smoothing effects on skin and hair. Cleansing products containing this ingredient offer strong cleansing power without leaving a dry, sticky, or "greasy film" sensation. Additionally, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate exhibits protein-denaturing capabilities, delivering antibacterial benefits. In toothpaste, shampoos, body washes, and other personal care products, it helps maintain microbial balance and reduces skin inflammation.

Hard Water Resistance 

Cleansing products must demonstrate stable performance across varying water qualities. Traditional cleansers often lose effectiveness in hard water (high calcium/magnesium ion concentrations), resulting in poor foaming and a perceived lack of cleansing efficacy. Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate shows high tolerance to salts and hard water while outperforming other amino acid surfactants in foaming ability. When combined with traditional surfactants, it enhances foamability and cleansing power while reducing product irritation.

Compatibility

production Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate cleanses by adsorbing excess oil and impurities, followed by emulsification. It is widely used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and shaving products. Its excellent compatibility allows synergy with nonionic surfactants (e.g., alkyl polyglucosides) to reduce the headgroup ratio of amino acid surfactants and increase micelle density, thereby improving system viscosity. When paired with amphoteric surfactants like cocamidopropyl betaine, it forms micellar systems that align with consumer preferences for product texture.
