Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate
Isopropyl Lauroyl Sarcosinate (CAS 230309-38-3) is the isopropyl ester of N-lauroyl sarcosine, a lipophilic sarcosinate ester used as a cosmetic formulation ingredient. The supplied record specifies cosmetic grade, assay ≥98%, and a colorless to pale-yellow oily liquid. It is an oil-phase ingredient, not a therapeutic active.
In personal-care formulations, its reported functions include lightweight emolliency, sensory modification, and wetting or dispersing pigments and other particulate ingredients in compatible systems. It can contribute slip, spreadability, and a less greasy, dry-touch feel. Potential formulation areas include skin care, color cosmetics, sunscreens, and hair care, subject to the intended formula and applicable requirements. These are ingredient-function descriptions, not claims of therapeutic efficacy or regulatory approval. Confirm the material identity, grade, and local cosmetic compliance against current supplier documentation before commercialization.
– Emollient and sensory modifier: Consider it as an oil-phase ingredient in compatible lotions, moisturizers, or serum formulations where a lightweight, smooth feel and improved glide are desired. Sensory outcomes depend on concentration and the combined emollient system; assess the supplied grade in the intended formula.
– Pigment and powder wetting/dispersing: It may be evaluated in color cosmetics such as foundations or pressed products to support wetting and more even distribution of insoluble pigments or mineral powders. Confirm dispersion quality, appearance, and storage stability in the finished system; do not assume performance from ingredient identity alone.
– Sunscreen formulations: It may be considered as a sensory or dispersing component in compatible sunscreen systems. It is not itself a UV filter, and no SPF increase or protective efficacy is implied. Verify compatibility with the selected filters and meet applicable testing, labeling, and regulatory requirements for the finished product.
