Applications

Cosmetics and Personal Care Industry

• Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is a mild amino acid–based surfactant derived from natural sources. It combines cleansing efficiency with low irritation, forming stable micelles in aqueous systems that deliver effective cleansing and moisturizing balance.
• In facial cleansers, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate removes excess sebum, dirt, and cosmetic residues while maintaining the skin barrier. When blended with Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate or Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate, it produces rich, creamy foam with excellent skin compatibility, making it ideal for sensitive and dry skin types.
• In shampoos, it acts as the main or secondary surfactant, providing balanced cleansing and conditioning. Combined with cationic conditioners such as Polyquaternium-10, it enhances smoothness, gloss, and antistatic performance of hair.
• In body washes, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate provides a silky after-feel by forming a light moisturizing film on the skin surface. It improves softness and hydration, and when combined with nonionic surfactants, enhances foam stability and texture.
• In baby care formulations, it is widely used in no-tear and hypoallergenic systems for baby shampoos and body washes, maintaining moisture and skin barrier stability while meeting natural, eco-friendly product standards.
• In men’s grooming products, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate offers deep yet gentle cleansing. It is used in shaving foams and facial cleansers to produce fine, stable foam, allowing smooth shaving and preventing dryness or irritation.

Household and Detergent Industry

• Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is applied in high-end and mild household detergents such as hand soaps, kitchen cleaners, and sensitive-skin laundry liquids. It delivers effective cleaning with low irritation and good hard-water resistance.
• In hand cleansers, it removes grease and bacteria without damaging the skin barrier. When combined with Cocamidopropyl Betaine, it provides dense foam and a silky feel.
• In laundry detergents, its biodegradability and mild foaming behavior make it suitable for infant clothes and sensitive fabrics, ensuring softness and comfort after washing.

Pharmaceutical and Medical Cleansing

• In medical washes and skin cleansers, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate replaces harsh anionic surfactants like SLS or SLES. With a pH close to skin’s natural level, it maintains skin barrier integrity and reduces dryness. It shows excellent compatibility with antibacterial agents such as chlorhexidine and ethanol, making it suitable for hospital-grade hand sanitizers and preoperative cleansers.
• It is also studied in dermatological applications, including gentle cleansers for dermatitis and barrier repair formulations, offering effective cleansing and soothing effects simultaneously.
• Emerging Applications
• Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate shows strong potential in sustainable chemistry and bio-based materials. Due to its renewable origin and biodegradability, it is used in solid shampoo bars, concentrated cleansing powders, and waterless formulas, reducing packaging waste and carbon footprint.
• It also finds applications in bio-based coatings, green emulsifiers, and skin barrier repair materials, serving as an eco-friendly surfactant for next-generation personal care and industrial cleaning solutions.
