Sodium myristoyl sarcosinate

Sodium Myristoyl Sarcosinate (CAS 30364-51-3) is an acyl sarcosinate surfactant derived from myristic acid and the amino acid sarcosine. It is commercially available under trade names including Hamposyl M 30, Sarcosinate MN, and Nikkol Sarcosinate MN. It carries no assigned E-code and is classified under HS code 2924190002.

In personal care formulations, it functions as a mild anionic surfactant that reduces interfacial tension to emulsify oils and generate stable foam in cleansers, shampoos, and toothpastes. Its sarcosinate head group provides good compatibility with skin proteins, making it suitable for low-irritation facial and body wash systems where controlled foam density is a formulation requirement.

Sodium Myristoyl Sarcosinate is supplied in liquid and powder grades depending on the manufacturer. It falls under REACH registration obligations for EU import and use. Procurement teams should confirm grade specifications, concentration, and packaging format directly with the supplier to match formulation and handling requirements.
