Amino Surfactant 50 ml

Amino Surfactant for Sensitive Skin Cleansing and Professional Formulations

Amino Surfactants are a class of ultra-mild, biodegradable cleansing agents derived from amino acids or their natural derivatives. Known for their skin-friendly profile and excellent compatibility, they are increasingly used in cosmetic, dermatological, and personal care products aimed at gentle yet effective cleansing. The structure of amino-based surfactants is typically anionic or amphoteric, based on glutamic acid, sarcosine, or glycine. Common INCI names include Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Disodium Cocoyl Glutamate, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, and others. They are usually transparent to slightly yellow viscous liquids that dissolve readily in water and produce a soft, non-aggressive foam.

Applications and Purpose

Amino Surfactants are used in formulas where mildness, safety, and skin barrier preservation are essential. These include facial cleansers, micellar waters, intimate hygiene products, baby shampoos, sulfate-free shower gels, and dermatological cleansers. Their ability to maintain physiological pH (4.5–6.5) and their extremely low irritation index make them ideal for sensitive, allergic, or post-treatment skin. They are also widely used in low-foaming systems for oral care, such as toothpaste for sensitive teeth. In pharmaceutical-grade skincare and therapeutic cosmetics, amino surfactants serve as the primary cleansing base where conventional sulfates are excluded.

Use in Product Formulation

Amino Surfactants are incorporated into:

• Mild shampoos and baby washes

• Foaming facial cleansers

• Micellar water bases

• Enzyme-based exfoliants

• Cleansing gels for medical skincare

• Toothpaste for hypersensitive users

• Water-based emulsions and intimate hygiene lines

They are compatible with other gentle surfactants such as Coco Betaine, Glucosides, Caprylyl/Capryl Glucoside, and PEG-free ingredients. They work well with hydrosols, herbal extracts, peptides, and oil-soluble actives. In both cold and hot processes, amino surfactants maintain structural integrity and do not suppress the efficacy of actives or pH-sensitive components. Their foam is soft, non-irritating, and rinses off easily without stripping the skin or scalp.

Benefits

• Exceptionally low irritation and high tolerance

• Eco-friendly, readily biodegradable

• pH-balanced for skin physiology

• Compatible with acidic and enzymatic systems

• Suitable for use in clean beauty, baby care, and sensitive skincare lines

• Stable in hard water and over time
