Dibutyl lauroyl glutamide

Dibutyl lauroyl glutamide (CAS 63663-21-8) is an amino acid-derived gelator used to structure non-aqueous systems. It builds a fibrous network in oils, esters, and organic solvents, converting liquid phases into gels or semi-solids.

In cosmetic formulations, it structures anhydrous products such as lip balms, solid perfumes, stick foundations, and oil-based serums. It effectively replaces waxes where a lighter, less occlusive texture is required for the end user.

Coatings and adhesive formulators use it to control flow and prevent sagging in solvent-borne systems during application and cure. This ensures a more uniform finish and better performance in industrial settings.

In home care and industrial cleaning concentrates, it thickens oil-phase components to improve product stability and dispensing behavior. This functionality is critical for maintaining the shelf life of complex chemical mixtures.

Its emulsification and dispersion functionality also supports pigment suspension in color cosmetic bases and industrial coating systems. This prevents settling and ensures consistent color delivery across various applications.

The material is supplied as a white to off-white powder or flake. It is available in cosmetic-grade specification, which is the standard form for personal care and high-end industrial applications.

Packaging typically ranges from kilogram-scale bags to bulk quantities suited for industrial procurement. This flexibility allows for both pilot-scale development and full-scale commercial manufacturing requirements.
