Versatile Antimicrobial Solution for Multiple Industries
Enhance your product formulations with Lauroyl Arginate Ethyl Ester HCl (LAE) , a highly effective, broad-spectrum cationic surfactant with exceptional antimicrobial activity. With CAS 60372-77-2 and molecular formula C20H41N4O3Cl (MW 421.02), this cosmetic preservative demonstrates outstanding efficacy against bacteria, yeasts, and molds, making it ideal for personal care preservative systems in creams, lotions, shampoos, and wet wipes.
Safe & Gentle Preservation
As an amino acid-derived preservative, LAE offers excellent biodegradability and low toxicity profiles. It is approved as a food preservative (INS 243) and is widely recognized for its ability to reduce pathogenic microorganisms such as Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella, and E. coli in food matrices including meat, poultry, seafood, and dairy products.
Superior Performance in Challenging Conditions
This cationic emulsifier maintains its antimicrobial efficacy across a wide pH range while being compatible with both anionic and non-ionic surfactants. It is particularly suitable for leave-on cosmetic products, rinse-off formulations, and natural preservative blends. The compound acts rapidly by disrupting microbial cell membranes, leading to quick and effective microbial reduction without compromising product safety or sensory properties.
Regulatory Compliance Worldwide
LAE is approved for use as a preservative in cosmetics and personal care products globally. It is also recognized by the FDA (GRAS status for certain food applications) and complies with international food safety standards. Whether you are developing natural and organic certified products, looking for a paraben-free preservative alternative, or seeking a multi-functional ingredient that provides both preservation and mildness, LAE offers a scientifically backed, environmentally friendly solution.
