Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate，SLG，CAS 29923-31-7，Amino Acid-based Anionic Surfactant

Product Name: Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate
Also Known As: Sodium N-lauroyl-L-glutamate
CAS No.: 29923-31-7
Molecular Formula: C₁₇H₂₈NNaO₅

Product Introduction

Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate (SLG) is an amino acid-based anionic surfactant derived from natural botanical sources (such as lauric acid from coconut oil and glutamic acid from fermentation). Its molecular structure features both a hydrophilic amino acid group and a lipophilic lauryl chain, endowing it with outstanding properties such as mild cleansing, low irritation, and ready biodegradability. Recognized as a representative "green surfactant," it is highly valued in eco-conscious formulations.

Key Characteristics

Exceptional Mildness: With a pH close to that of human skin (slightly acidic), it exhibits very low irritation to the skin and eyes, making it suitable for sensitive skin and infant care products.

Plant-Derived Origin: Sourced from botanical raw materials, it aligns with the trend towards natural and eco-friendly consumer products.

Excellent Compatibility: Easily blends with other surfactants (e.g., amino acid-based and amphoteric surfactants), synergistically enhancing formulation mildness and foam stability.

Biodegradability: Undergoes rapid and complete degradation in the natural environment, minimizing ecological impact.
