Information:
Britens Glutamate Lauroyl 100% biobased is a natural surfactant, readily biodegradable, EO-free and sulphate-free. Britens Glutamate Lauroyl is anionic, extremely mild, high foaming. Britens Glutamate Lauroyl based on purified sustainable palm kernel oil, a natural renewable resource.
Britens Glutamate Lauroyl is remarkably mild for hair and skin and has strong cleaning capabilities. This combination results in a perfect application for personal care products such as facial cleansers, body wash and shampoos for sensitive skin and hair. The purity of the product makes it suitable for high-quality products.
Generally Acyl Glutamates like Britens Glutamate Lauroyl improve the dermatological characteristics of surfactant formulations by replacing the more skin irritating and eye damaging Sodium Lauryl Sulfate and Sodium Laureth Sulfate as the main surfactant. Resulting in a safe silky smooth product for your skin and hair.
When used in formula’s Britens Glutamate Lauroyl has a slight viscosity reducing effect. When low viscosities are wanted, Britens Glutamate Lauroyl is an excellent surfactant. Using thickeners/consistency modifiers, higher viscosities are easily obtained.
Even when used in formula’s as a co surfactant, Britens Glutamate Lauroyl gives the formula an easy rinse-off effect. Britens Glutamate Lauroyl washes away with relative small amounts of water compared to other less mild surfactants. Therefor leaving no traces of the formula on the skin after washing.
All these properties make Britens Glutamate Lauroyl suitable for a broad variety of products in personal care, such as facecleansers, shampoos, body washes, shaving products, toothpastes and especially personal care products for infants and for the sensitive skin and hair.
Britens Glutamate Lauroyl is available in solid and in liquid form. There are also sodium and disodium variants. The disodium variant is more adapted for more alkaline conditions. All variants of Britens Glutamate Lauroyls can also be used as hydrotopes, increasing the formula’s cloud-point.
Technical:
Britens Glutamate Lauroyl has a hydrophilic head comprised of the amino acid L-glutamine. It is derived through the fermentation of natural raw materials containing glutamine. Sirius International is always looking to innovate towards natural raw materials and Britens Glutamate Lauroyl is part of our line of biobased mild surfactants.
Commercial:
Liquid: 200kg/drum 16mt in 20FCL
Solid: 25kg/carton 8mt in 20FCL

The Sirius Effect: Green raw materials are becoming increasingly inportant for the cosmetic industry. Not only because consumers are increasingly demanding this, but also because the supply of biobased raw materials for cosmetic products is increasing. This also applies to Sirius International's portfolio, which increasingly contains surfactants that are very suitable for use in rinse-off cosmetics. Each of these products offers great opportunities to make cosmetics and personal care products even more green and sustainable! A clear Sirius effect!

The Sirius Effect: Life cycle analysis of surfactants Making products more and more sustainable ? That’s what Sirius does. An accurate cradle-to-gate life cycle analysis (LCA) shows exactly how much smaller the carbon footprint and environmental impact of Sirius' bio-based products are compared to those of petrochemical counterparts. But also on which points there is still room for improvement… To what extent is one product more sustainable than another? And is a product made from organic raw materials really as sustainable as it seems? To answer that question, it is important to look further than just the usual raw materials. How energy-intensive are the different steps in the production process? What is the impact of transporting raw materials to and from the factory? What kind of waste is created during the production process, and what is done with it?
