Wholesale Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate Powder 95%

Amino Acid Surfactant & Foaming Agent for Next-Gen Clean Beauty | CAS: 38517-23-6

Chemical Monograph & Technical Profile

CAS Number: 38517-23-6 | Active Content: ≥95% | Chemical Structure: Monosodium Salt of N-Stearoyl-L-Glutamic Acid.

Our **Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate Powder 95%** represents the peak of amino acid-based surfactant technology. Synthesized from vegetable-sourced L-glutamic acid and stearic acid, this natural anionic surfactant acts as an exceptional mild cleansing agent and secondary emulsifier. Its structure is closely aligned with the natural moisture-retaining elements of human skin cells, ensuring outstanding biocompatibility.

Unlike standard liquid alternatives containing high percentages of water and preservatives, the 95% active powder format allows cosmetic formulators complete control over moisture levels and preservative systems. It is particularly designed for premium clean beauty formulations, including waterless cosmetics, solid shampoo bars, powder cleansers, and hypoallergenic baby care ranges.

Formulation Physics & Dynamic Applications

How Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate functions across diverse personal care environments.

Excellent Emulsifying & Stabilization Performance

Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate 95% Powder behaves as a hydrophilic O/W co-emulsifier. Its molecular configuration allows it to build lamellar liquid crystal networks in emulsion systems. These networks trap oil droplets, preventing coalescence and providing long-term thermal stability. Even at low use levels (0.5% - 1.5%), it enhances the creaminess and smooth application profile of emulsions.

Its natural affinity to human skin lipids makes it an exceptional choice for clean beauty facial creams, organic body lotions, and mineral sunscreens. It reduces the need for synthetic ethoxylated emulsifiers (like PEG-based options) while maintaining elegant sensory characteristics.

Ultra-Mild Cleansing & Mildness Enhancement

When combined with anionic surfactants like SLS or SLES, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate significantly reduces skin irritation potential. It forms mixed micelles that minimize the penetration of harsher surfactants into the stratum corneum, preserving the skin barrier. Consequently, transepidermal water loss (TEWL) is minimized, leaving skin feeling soft and moisturized post-rinse.

Optimal Formulation Practices

  • Recommended Use Level: 0.5% - 5.0% depending on the formula type (Cleanser vs. Emulsion).
  • Optimal pH Range: 5.0 – 7.5. Forms stable structures matching the skin's natural pH.
  • Solubility: Soluble in warm water (approx. 60°C - 70°C). Can be pre-dispersed in hot oil phases or dissolved in the aqueous phase.
  • Synergistic Combinations: Excellent performance when formulated with Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, and Lauryl Glucoside.

Technical & Commercial FAQ

Detailed answers to formulation, sourcing, and logistics questions from our technical experts.

What is the structural difference between Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate and Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate?

The main difference lies in the length of the hydrophobic alkyl chain. Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate uses a stearyl (C18) fatty chain, whereas Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate features a cocoyl chain (primarily C12-C14). The longer C18 chain of Stearoyl Glutamate provides stronger emulsification and conditioning properties, making it an excellent co-emulsifier for creams and lotions, while Cocoyl Glutamate is primarily used as a foaming cleanser.

Why should I choose the 95% powder format over the 30% liquid form?

The 95% active powder form eliminates the cost of transporting water and avoids the necessity of built-in chemical preservatives. This format is ideal for solid cosmetic formulations (like shampoo bars and powder cleansers) and allows formulators full freedom to select their preferred preservative systems in liquid formulations.

What is the recommended method for incorporating this powder into emulsions?

It can be incorporated into either the oil or water phase. Heat the phase to approximately 70°C - 75°C to ensure complete dissolution and dispersion. Add the oil phase to the water phase under high shear homogenization to form a stable lamellar structure.

What are the packaging standards and minimum order quantities (MOQ)?

Standard export packaging is 20kg or 25kg fiber drums with double PE inner lining bags to prevent moisture absorption. The standard MOQ starts at 500kg, but we can arrange smaller evaluation batches for testing during formulation development.
