  • Applications

    Sodium Myristoyl Sarcosinate (CAS 30364-51-3) is used as a mild anionic surfactant and emulsifier in cosmetics and personal care (shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers) to solubilize and disperse oils, improve foaming, and stabilize oil-in-water emulsions; it also serves as a solubilizer for fragrance oils and colorants in formulations. In household and industrial cleaners, it functions as a surfactant for surface cleaners and dish liquids. In coatings and inks, it acts as a wetting and pigment-dispersion agent to improve substrate wetting and color dispersion. In industrial manufacturing and formulation work, it can serve as a processing aid or emulsifier in various systems, depending on formulation needs and local regulations.
