Application
  • Cocoyl glutamates are extremely mild surfactants which reduce the irritation potential of other surfactants like sulfate surfactants. They create a creamy and stable foam with fine bubbles.PROTELAN AG 37 therefore is suitable for the preparation of very mild cleansing products. In shampoo formulations it helps to prevent a drying-out of hair.
  • Additionally, PROTELAN AG 37 is an excellent emulsifier for oils of different polarity. It can be used for cold-processable emulsions. With PROTELAN AG 37 emulsions leave a very light an velvet skin feeling.
  • Both components of PROTELAN AG 37 (fatty acid and the amino acid glutamic acid) are produced from renewable raw materials. PROTELAN AG 37 is free from propylene glycol and preservatives. PROTELAN AG 37 is an ideal choice for applications in natural cosmetics. Remarkable is the high content of active matter (Sodium salts of cocoyl glutamate) with regard to the dry substance (about 90 %).
