Sodium myristoyl sarcosinate

Sodium myristoyl sarcosinate (CAS 30364-51-3) is a mild amino acid-derived surfactant used in personal care and cosmetic formulations.

Where is Sodium myristoyl sarcosinate used?

• Facial and body cleansers: primary or co-surfactant generating dense, stable foam while conditioning skin during rinse-off
• Shampoos and scalp treatments: boosts lather and improves wet-combing feel without stripping natural oils
• Shaving preparations: mildness and emulsification
• Toothpaste and oral care: foaming and cleansing agent compatible with fluoride systems, low bitterness
• It helps maintain the skin barrier during the cleaning process.

Good to know: Based on the sarcosine backbone with a C14 fatty acid chain. Low irritation profile relative to conventional sulfate surfactants.

Commercial specifications

• Powder or aqueous solution, solution concentrations typically around 30%
• Cosmetic/personal care grade for topical use
• Buyers should confirm active content and pH specifications when sourcing for finished product compliance.
