Triethanolamine lauroylsarcosinate
Description
Triethanolamine lauroylsarcosinate (CAS 16693-53-1), also known as lauroylsarcosine triethanolamine, is a mild anionic surfactant used in personal care and cosmetic formulations.
It delivers cleansing, foam generation, and emulsification performance while maintaining compatibility with sensitive skin systems. In facial cleansers and body washes, it provides effective soil and sebum removal.
The material offers a controlled, stable foam profile suited to mild formulations. Shampoo and conditioner manufacturers use it to balance cleansing efficacy with scalp compatibility, often in combination with other surfactant systems.
It functions as an emulsifier and dispersant in leave-on and rinse-off products where uniform distribution of active ingredients across the formulation is required for performance.
Toothpaste and oral care formulators also incorporate it as a secondary surfactant to support cleaning action and foam texture without the harshness associated with conventional sulfate-based systems.
Triethanolamine lauroylsarcosinate is typically supplied as an aqueous solution. It is available in cosmetic and personal care grade specifications, with purity and active content levels aligned to industry requirements.
Buyers should confirm active matter concentration and pH range with suppliers when qualifying material for specific formulation targets. This ensures the product meets necessary quality standards for manufacturing.
