  1. Different Amino Acid-Based Surfactants in Use Today Surfactants are famous for their ability to form fine lather because of their wonderful detergency and emulsifying properties. The amino oxide-based surfactants have high biodegradability, excellent surface-active properties, and low toxicity. They tolerate hard water well and are mild on the eyes and skin. Being environmentally friendly, they don't pose any threat to the ecosystem. These are milder than the corresponding carboxylates and sulfates. Evolution of the Cleaning Products Soaps are salts of fatty acids and came into use in the personal cleansing segment in the early 1900s. In the 1950s, a syndet surfactant got introduced as personal cleansing bars. During the 1990s, liquid cleansing technology came into the limelight. These body washes and shower gels use a combination of sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), an amphoteric surfactant such as Cocamidopropyl betaine, and an anionic surfactant. In amino acid-based surfactants, amino acids form the natural building block for the surfactants. Using Facial Cleansers and Toothpastes Ajinomoto pioneered the synthesis of amino acid-based surfactants in the 1970s. Acyl sarcosinate was the first such surfactant used in toothpaste. After this, acyl glutamates became popular for their application in transparent soap bars and facial cleaning. Acyl glycinate found favor with the manufacturers for their lather properties and mildness. Other than glutamates, sarcosinates, and glycinates, we have other amino acid head groups such as taurates and alaninates. Improvement in the Quality Levels You can contact your surfactant chemical supplier to get more information on this matter. Technically, taurates do not belong to the amino acid group. But because they have similar properties and taurine is an amino- sulfonic acid, they get grouped in the same category.

  2. Customer-centric solutions from prominent manufacturers have enhanced the quality of the cleaning products in use today. We can use the surfactants as emulsifiers and as preservatives. Your surfactant chemical supplier will tell you how to do this. Biosurfactants in use today are naturally occurring substances.
