Cosmetic Grade Potassium Lauryl Phosphate-CAS 39322-78-6
Cosmetic Grade Potassium Lauryl Phosphate is a high-end mild phosphate-based anionic surfactant, specially developed for low-irritation clean beauty cleansing products. Different from traditional irritating sulfate surfactants such as SLS and SLES, it adopts bionic phospholipid molecular structure, which is highly consistent with human skin lipid characteristics, featuring mild cleansing, low irritation and no damage to skin barrier.
The product has moderate surface activity, which can gently remove excess oil, dust and residual dirt on the skin surface without over-cleaning, effectively solving the problems of dryness, tightness and roughness caused by traditional strong detergents. It has unique salt-free self-thickening performance, which can independently increase the viscosity of aqueous cleansing formulas without additional thickeners such as sodium chloride, greatly simplifying formula design and avoiding instability problems such as delamination and precipitation caused by salt thickening.
With fine and elastic foam, easy rinsing and no residual stickiness, it can form a protective moisturizing layer on the skin surface after cleansing, locking skin moisture and maintaining skin softness and delicacy. It has wide pH adaptability and high temperature resistance, stable formula performance during production and long-term storage. It is the core preferred raw material for sensitive skin, pregnant women and infant-grade mild cleansing cosmetics.
