  • Applications

    Stearoyl lactylate (CAS 14440-80-3) is commonly used as an emulsifier and surfactant, helping to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions and improve texture in a range of formulations. In food processing, it serves as a dough conditioner and emulsifier in bakery products to enhance crumb tenderness and loaf volume. In cosmetics and personal care, it functions as an emulsifier and thickener/stabilizer in creams, lotions, and other emollient preparations. In household and industrial cleaning formulations, it acts as a surfactant/emulsifier that facilitates soil dispersion and cleaning performance.
