Sodium sarcosinate

Sodium sarcosinate (CAS 4316-73-8), also known as sarcosine sodium salt, is the sodium salt form of the naturally occurring amino acid derivative sarcosine.

Where is Sodium sarcosinate used?

• Personal care: chelating agent that sequesters hard water ions, improving stability of shampoos, cleansers and skin care products
• Oral care: pH buffer that maintains pH consistency in toothpaste and mouthwash
• Cosmetics: moisturizing agent for skin conditioning in leave-on and rinse-off products
• Food-grade: processing aid and buffering agent where amino acid-derived additives are required
• Industrial chelation uses rely on technical-grade material.

Good to know: Buyers should confirm concentration and grade designation when sourcing solution forms, as these vary across suppliers.
