  • Applications

    Distearyl lauroyl glutamate, CAS 55258-21-4, is commonly used as a mild nonionic surfactant and conditioning emollient in cosmetics and personal care, where it acts as an emulsifier to stabilize oil-in-water formulations and to improve texture and spreadability in creams, lotions, and cleansers. It is also employed in household cleaning products as a gentle surfactant and emulsifier that aids soil removal and disperses oily residues. In industrial manufacturing, it serves as a specialty surfactant and processing aid for polymer blends, paints and coatings, and inks, improving wetting, dispersion, and phase compatibility. In pharmaceutical topical formulations, it can function as an excipient, emulsifier, or conditioning ingredient to enhance sensory properties and product handling. Additionally, it may be used in other specialty applications requiring mild surfactants with emollient character, subject to formulation limits and local regulations.
