Description
Undecylenoyl glycine (CAS 54301-26-7), commercially known as Lipacide UG, is an amino acid-derived surfactant produced by condensing undecylenic acid with glycine. It carries no assigned E-code. The compound belongs to the acyl glycinate surfactant family and is registered under REACH.
In personal care formulations, it functions as a mild emulsifier and antimicrobial agent, disrupting microbial cell membranes through its fatty acid chain while the glycine head group supports skin compatibility. It also serves as a pH buffer in cleansing systems, helping maintain formulation stability across acidic to neutral ranges.
Undecylenoyl glycine is supplied in compliance with REACH regulations and is suitable for cosmetic applications under EU Cosmetics Regulation 1223/2009. It is typically available in liquid or paste form depending on grade. Procurement quantities range from drum to IBC formats through European distribution channels.
