Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate (CAS 38517-37-2) is the sodium salt of N-stearoyl glutamic acid, an anionic amino-acid-based surfactant. It is used as an emulsifier and cleansing surfactant and as a hair- and skin-conditioning agent in personal-care formulations.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is sodium stearoyl glutamate the same as sodium lauryl sulfate?
No. Sodium stearoyl glutamate (CAS 38517-37-2) is an amino-acid-based anionic surfactant derived from glutamic acid and stearic acid, whereas sodium lauryl sulfate is an alkyl sulfate. They are different surfactant chemistries and are not interchangeable. Confirm the INCI name and CAS on the CoA.
What is sodium stearoyl glutamate used for?
It is used as an anionic oil-in-water emulsifier for creams and lotions, as a cleansing surfactant, and as a hair- and skin-conditioning agent in personal-care formulations. RawSource supplies it as a formulation-grade surfactant in bulk. Match the grade to your formulation type.
What is sodium stearoyl glutamate made from?
It is the sodium salt of N-stearoyl glutamic acid, formed from glutamic acid (an amino acid) and stearic acid (a fatty acid). The feedstock sourcing varies by grade, so confirm origin and specification on the CoA. RawSource supplies it for cosmetic and personal-care use.
What is the INCI name and CAS for sodium stearoyl glutamate?
The INCI name is Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate and the CAS is 38517-37-2; it classifies under HS 3402.39 (anionic organic surface-active agents, other). Verify these against the CoA for your lot before formulating. RawSource provides a CoA with every order.
What bulk packaging is sodium stearoyl glutamate available in?
RawSource ships it to manufacturers in drums, totes, or IBCs matched to grade and order volume, with a CoA and SDS on every order. Request a quote with your target quantity for delivered pricing.
