Sodium oleoyl sarcosinate (CAS 14351-62-3) is an amino acid-derived anionic surfactant built on a sarcosine backbone with an oleic acid chain.

Where is Sodium oleoyl sarcosinate used?

• Personal care: primary or co-surfactant in facial cleansers, shampoos, and shaving products
• Industrial and household cleaning: degreasing agent in hard surface cleaners and metal treatment products
• Textile and leather processing: wetting and dispersing agent for dye penetration and process uniformity
• Paper manufacturing: supports fiber dispersion and surface treatment with controlled foaming
• It generates a stable, dense foam while minimizing skin irritation.

Good to know: Valued for its mildness relative to conventional sulfate-based surfactants. Cosmetic grades meet purity requirements for personal care and sensitive applications.

Commercial specifications

• Active concentrations typically 30% or higher
