Sodium glycinate

Sodium glycinate (CAS 6000-44-8), also sold as sodium aminoacetate, is the monosodium salt of glycine used across pharmaceutical, food, and personal care manufacturing. It functions primarily as a pH buffer, humectant, and stabilizer in formulations where controlled acidity and moisture retention are critical to product performance.

In pharmaceutical manufacturing, it buffers injectable solutions, oral liquids, and topical formulations to maintain stable pH across storage conditions for long-term stability. Food and beverage producers use it as a flavor modifier and buffering agent in processed foods, where it also contributes mild antioxidant stabilization to extend shelf life.

Personal care formulators incorporate it into skin care products and cleansing systems to regulate pH while supporting moisture retention in the final product for consumers. It also appears in amino acid-based nutritional supplements and clinical nutrition products as a bioavailable glycine source for various health and wellness applications.

Sodium glycinate is supplied as a white crystalline powder. Food-grade and pharmaceutical-grade material is available, with pharmaceutical supply typically conforming to USP or BP specifications. Bulk quantities are standard for industrial buyers, with smaller packaging available for formulators and R&D applications to meet specific manufacturing requirements.
