Amino Surfactant 1 L

Amino Surfactant for Sensitive Skin and Advanced Cleansing Formulations

Amino Surfactant is a high-purity, skin-compatible cleansing agent derived from plant-based fatty acids and amino acids such as glutamic acid or sarcosine. As one of the mildest surfactants available, it is designed for use in products intended for sensitive, reactive, dry, or baby skin. With excellent dermatological tolerance and ecological safety, it plays a key role in professional skincare, certified clean beauty, and eco-formulations. The ingredient is typically a clear to slightly yellow liquid that dissolves well in water, generating a soft, non-stripping foam. INCI names include Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, and Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, depending on structure and source.

Purpose and Applications

Amino Surfactants are widely used in the development of face washes, micellar gels, non-irritating shampoos, baby products, oral care solutions, and medical cleansers. Their non-aggressive nature and pH compatibility (4.5–6.0) make them ideal for use in barrier-protective skincare, daily cleansers, and formulas with functional actives. These surfactants are also chosen for sulfate-free shampoos, low-foam emulsions, and soothing washes intended for post-peel or post-laser skincare routines. Because they do not damage the lipid barrier or microbiome, they are often preferred in certified organic or allergen-free product lines.

Usage in Formulation

Amino Surfactants can be used as primary or co-surfactants in:

• Facial cleansers and hydrating foams

• Baby shampoos and body washes

• Oral hygiene products for sensitive teeth

• Intimate hygiene washes

• Cream-gel emulsions and dermatological cleansers

• Micellar water and water-free cleansing balms

They blend well with glucosides, coco betaine, glycerin, essential oils, botanical extracts, peptides, and active acid complexes. Suitable for both cold-process and heat-tolerant systems, they retain their function without destabilizing emulsions. Their performance in hard water remains consistent, and they support clean-label claims such as “vegan,” “non-irritating,” and “biodegradable.”

Benefits

• Non-irritating to skin, eyes, and mucous membranes

• Ideal for allergy-prone, infant, or post-treatment skin

• Readily biodegradable and non-toxic to aquatic systems

• Compatible with pH-sensitive actives and acids

• Maintain skin barrier integrity with daily use

• Improve foam quality in low-surfactant systems

• Do not interact negatively with enzymes or peptides

• Perfect for certified eco-formulations and baby-safe products

These characteristics make amino surfactants a modern solution for brands that prioritize efficacy, comfort, and environmental responsibility in their cleansing products.
