SODIUM LAUROYL OAT AMINO ACIDS

Description

Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids is a versatile and gentle surfactant derived from oat proteins and lauric acid. This ingredient combines the cleansing properties of traditional surfactants with the skin-soothing benefits of oat-derived amino acids. Its molecular structure allows for effective cleansing while minimizing potential irritation to the skin and eyes.

In skincare formulations, Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids functions as a primary or secondary surfactant, helping to remove dirt, oil, and other impurities from the skin. It produces a mild, creamy foam that leaves the skin feeling clean without excessive drying. The oat amino acid component contributes to its mildness and may offer additional moisturizing properties.

This ingredient is particularly suitable for sensitive skin formulations and baby care products due to its gentle nature. It has a pH range of 6.0-7.0, making it compatible with the skin's natural pH. Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids is biodegradable and can be used in eco-friendly product formulations. It works well in combination with other surfactants and is stable in a wide range of temperatures and pH levels, making it a valuable ingredient in various skincare and personal care products.
