This effective anionic oil in water emulsifier has been designed to form light and elegant oil in water emulsions but it can also be used for mild cleansing products. It is very efficient and can be used in low concentrations to produce a range of active skincare products such as moisturisers with sunscreens, anti ageing products and baby care.
Glutamate surfactants are made from amino acids and as a surfactant family, are well known for their skin compatibility, gentleness and ability to moisturise rather than dry the skin or hair. Tests have shown that even after a thorough cleanse, glutamate surfactants maintain skin barrier integrity. Glutamates are around 5 times milder than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and are therefore well suited to cleansing products for intimate areas as well as for baby products and eye make-up remover formulations.
Activity Level: 97% active
Material Origin: Plant derived.
Useage Levels: When using as an emulsifier, add to the oil or water phase at between 0.25-2%.If being used as a natural surfactant use at up to 10%.
pH Advice: As this is an amino acid derived surfactant it is most stable and active when formulated into products with a pH of 6 or less. At higher pH this ingredient will be less effective and may destabilise your formula. Foaming performance will also be reduced at high pH.
Formulating Cautions: Not recommended for products that contain high levels of Zinc oxide as zinc forms complexes with anionic surfactants.
