Chemical Family
Statement of Origin

Ethane sulfonic acid (ESA) is a natural organic acid/mineral. It is produced by the reaction of ethanol and mineral acids of sulfur. It is formed via fermentation of non-GMO sugar cane, sourced from India. L-Valine is produced via fermentation processes using non-MGO sugarcane glucose as the substrate. Brassica alcohol is 100% vegetable derived from non-GMO mustard/rape/colza brassica plants sourced from India. Brassica Glycerides is derived from vegetable sources. The specific vegetable sources are rapeseed oil (sourced from North America – United States, Canada, or Mexico) and coconut oil (sourced from North America – United States)

Technical Details & Test Data

Manufacturing Process

Aminosensyl™ SC is a combination of a glyceryl ester of brassica fatty acid, and esterified amino acid. Brassicyl Valinate Esylate is produced via esterification reaction of Brassica Alcohol, L-Valine, and Ethansesulfonic Acid (ESA) and a salt reaction, in which the ESA forms a salt with the amino group on the L-Valine (Valine Esylate). The reaction takes place in excess Brassica Alcohol. Unreacted brassica alcohol, along with additional fatty alcohol, remain as a component of the final product.

Science Behind
  • AminoSensyl™ SC is part of INOLEX’s propriety technology platform of amino lipids.
  • Building blocks of the amino lipid molecule, Brassicyl Valinate Esylate:
  1. Valine: amino acid from biofermentation that provides the natural cationic charge
  2. Brassica alcohol: fatty alcohol from plant oils that contains a hydrophobic carbon chain
  • Lamellar liquid crystals (LLCs) are formed by the specific ratio of amino lipid to fatty alcohol. These structures can stabilize high oil loads and provide a soft, powdery and non-greasy feel. The microscopy images show the presence of LLCs in the Brassicyl Valinate Esylate - Brassica Alcohol blend.
