How to Use Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
Use Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate as a secondary surfactant at 1–5%. Adding it to foaming formulations can help boost foam while improving the mildness of the finished product.
The product has an ASM of 29–31% and a typical pH of 8–9.3.
For good formulation stability, keep the final formulation at a pH above 6. You can also use salt to increase viscosity in suitable formulas.
Another option involves adjusting the formulation with a citric acid solution. Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate becomes more viscous around pH 5, so you can carefully add citric acid solution while checking the pH.
Always make gradual adjustments and measure the pH throughout the process.
