Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate

Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate (≥95.0% active, powder and granule) is a white amino acid based emulsifier, offering a mild, PEG-free emulsifying and stabilising solution for skincare and personal care formulations. At Benefacta, we supply this natural-origin ingredient made from glutamic acid derived from corn fermentation and fatty acids, ideal for a wide range of applications where texture, stability and skin compatibility matter.

Whether you are formulating face creams, lotions, serums or sunscreens, Sodium Stearoyl Glutamate works as a co-emulsifier and stabiliser that gives emulsions a finer, brighter appearance. In cleansing powders, cleansing milks and transparent soaps it also acts as a mild cleansing and foaming agent. With a pH of 5.0–7.0, close to that of skin, it is particularly suitable for formulations for dry and sensitive skin. It dissolves in water from 70 °C, and the granule grade dissolves about twice as fast as the powder with less dust during dosing.

We provide complete traceability and comprehensive documentation (TDS, SDS, COA) with every batch, ensuring consistent quality for European cosmetic manufacturers. The ingredient’s high active content, low salt level (NaCl ≤1.0%) and natural origin make it a preferred choice for formulators seeking a mild, versatile emulsifier that replaces conventional PEG-based systems.
