Sodium lauroamphoacetate
What is Sodium lauroamphoacetate?
Sodium lauroamphoacetate (CAS 156028-14-7) is an amphoteric surfactant derived from lauric acid. Also marketed as Miranol HMA.
Where is Sodium lauroamphoacetate used?
- Shampoos and body washes: boosts foam density and improves lather quality
- Facial cleansers and baby care products: secondary surfactant where mildness is a priority
- Micellar waters and cleansing foams: low irritancy profile for sensitive-skin positioning
- Conditioning products: emulsifier and dispersant in leave-on and rinse-off formats
- With primary anionic surfactants such as SLES or SLS it helps reduce overall irritation potential.
Good to know: Compatible with both anionic and cationic systems. Buyers evaluate conformance to standard industry specifications.
Commercial specifications
- Active matter content commonly around 30–40% depending on manufacturer requirements
- Packaging options generally include drums and IBCs for industrial-scale procurement
