Sodium oleoyl sarcosinate

Sodium oleoyl sarcosinate (CAS 14351-62-3) is an amino acid-derived anionic surfactant built on a sarcosine backbone with an oleic acid chain. It delivers effective cleansing, foaming, and emulsification across personal care and industrial cleaning formulations.

This chemical is valued for its mildness relative to conventional sulfate-based surfactants. In personal care, it functions as a primary or co-surfactant in facial cleansers, shampoos, and shaving products.

It generates a stable, dense foam while minimizing skin irritation during use. Industrial and household cleaning formulations use it as a degreasing agent in hard surface cleaners and metal treatment products.

The surfactant helps lift oils and soils from various substrates effectively. Textile and leather processing operations incorporate it as a wetting and dispersing agent to improve dye penetration and process uniformity.

In paper manufacturing, it supports fiber dispersion and surface treatment steps requiring controlled foaming behavior. Sodium oleoyl sarcosinate is supplied as a liquid or paste, typically at active concentrations of 30% or higher.

Solid or powder forms are available from select producers for applications requiring dry blending or concentrated formulation. Both technical-grade and cosmetic-grade specifications are commercially available for industrial use.

Cosmetic grades meet purity requirements for personal care use and sensitive applications. The material is handled according to standard chemical safety protocols to ensure stability and performance in final products.
