Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate CAS 4337-75-1

Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate (SMLT) is a mild anionic surfactant derived from lauric acid and taurine (a naturally occurring amino acid). It is widely used in personal care and cosmetic formulations due to its excellent foaming, cleansing, and emulsifying properties while being gentle on the skin.
Advantages:
Mildness:Gentle on skin and eyes, suitable for sensitive skin formulations.
High Foaming: Produces rich, stable foam even in hard water.
Biodegradable:Environmentally friendly, derived from renewable sources.
Compatibility: Works well with other surfactants (e.g., SLES, betaines).
Low Irritation: Non-drying, maintains skin’s natural moisture barrier.
Stability:Performs well across a wide pH range (4–9).
