Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate Supplier in Malaysia
- Also known as
- Sodium N-Lauroylsarcosinate
- N-Lauroyl Sarcosine Sodium Salt
- Lauroyl Sarcosine Sodium
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate supplier for personal-care and oral-care formulators in Malaysia. Also written sodium N-lauroylsarcosinate or N-lauroyl sarcosine sodium salt, it is a mild anionic surfactant built on sarcosine, an amino acid, rather than on a sulphate.
Commercial supply is usually a clear to pale yellow aqueous solution around 30% active, with paste concentrates and 94 to 95% powder grades for anhydrous and toothpaste work. Active content, pH, sodium chloride and free amine content are the values formulators check, so state them with the enquiry.
Typical uses are sulphate-free shampoos, facial cleansers, body and baby washes, toothpaste, mouthwash and shaving preparations, plus mild institutional cleaners where skin contact is frequent. Foaming and detergency depend on pH and fall away below about pH 5, which is worth confirming against the finished formulation.
This page covers sodium lauroyl sarcosinate only. Sodium cocoyl sarcosinate, sodium lauroyl glutamate and the sulphate surfactants are separate materials with their own specifications. Send the required form, active content, quantity and delivery location with your enquiry, and availability, packing and documentation are confirmed with the quotation.

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate grades and forms
We supply several forms to suit different formulating and dosing setups. If you need a size that is not listed, ask us.
| Grade | Form | Assay | Typical use | Packing |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate 30% solution | clear to pale yellow aqueous liquid | around 30% active, confirmed against the quoted grade | The standard commercial form for shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes and other pumpable rinse-off systems dosed on active content. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate powder | white to off-white powder | high-solids grade, commonly 94 to 95% active, confirmed against the quoted grade | Toothpaste, anhydrous bases and solid or dry-blended cleansers where added water is not wanted. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |
| Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate paste | viscous paste concentrate | higher active content than the standard solution, confirmed on the offer | Concentrated liquid systems that need a higher active loading without full dry-powder handling. | Confirm the required pack format with the quotation. |

Common questions about sodium lauroyl sarcosinate
Which form of sodium lauroyl sarcosinate should I request?
The 30% aqueous solution is the usual choice for liquid rinse-off products. Powder grades at 94 to 95% active suit toothpaste and anhydrous bases, and paste concentrates sit between the two. State the process and target active content so the suitable form can be quoted.
Is sodium lauroyl sarcosinate the same as sodium lauryl sulphate?
No. Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is an amino-acid-derived N-acyl surfactant, while sodium lauryl sulphate and sodium laureth sulphate are sulphate anionics with their own specifications. Order each against its own INCI name and assay rather than substituting one for another.
Why is it specified in sulphate-free formulations?
Formulators choose it as a mild anionic that still builds foam and cleansing in a system that avoids sulphate primaries, which is why it appears in sensitive-skin, baby and oral-care lines. Performance in the finished product still needs formulation trials.
Does pH affect sodium lauroyl sarcosinate performance?
Yes. Foaming and detergency fall away below about pH 5, so the working pH of the finished formulation is worth confirming before switching a system across to it.
What specifications should a buyer state?
State the form, target active content, and any limits on appearance, colour, pH, sodium chloride or free amine content. If a current raw-material sheet exists, include those limits so the quoted grade can be matched to it.
Is sodium cocoyl sarcosinate covered by this page?
No. Sodium cocoyl sarcosinate is a separate INCI identity based on a coconut fatty-acid feedstock and should be ordered by name. Mention it in the enquiry if that is what the formulation actually calls for.
What is needed for a price enquiry?
Provide the form or grade, active content, application, quantity and delivery location, plus any preferred packing and documents required, so the quotation covers the whole requirement.
