Essentially Natural Lauryl Betaine - Sulfate Free

• Ingredient Type: Amphoteric surfactant
• Form: Clear to pale yellow liquid
• Sulfate Free: Yes
• Active Matter: 28% to 33%

• Typical Usage Rate: 3% to 10%
• Ingredients: Lauryl Betaine
• Size options: 500ml, 1L, 5L or 25L

This product is commonly used to:

• Improve foam quality and stability in shampoos and body washes
• Increase mildness in surfactant blends for skin and scalp comfort
• Build viscosity and improve flow behaviour in cleansing products
• Support performance in hard water and high-electrolyte systems
• Help solubilise or blend other surfactants in multi-surfactant formulas

This product is suitable for:

• Formulators building mild, sulfate-free cleansing products
• Shampoos, shower gels, and facial cleansers that need stable foam
• Surfactant systems that need viscosity support and improved feel

This product is not:

• A finished cleansing product, it is a formulation ingredient
• For internal use
• Intended to be applied neat to skin without formulation

• As a Shampoo Ingredient: Add into the surfactant blend and mix until uniform, then adjust salt and pH as needed for final viscosity.
• As a Body Wash Ingredient: Use as part of a blended surfactant system for mildness and foam.
• As a Facial Cleanser Ingredient: Use at appropriate levels within a balanced surfactant blend and keep final pH skin-friendly.
• Processing Tip: Add slowly with mixing to minimise aeration and foam during batching.

• For external formulation use only
• Avoid contact with eyes, rinse thoroughly if contact occurs
• Do not ingest
• Wear gloves when handling raw surfactants and wash off splashes promptly
• Keep out of reach of children and pets
• Store tightly sealed in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct light

Q: What does sulfate free mean here?
A: It means the ingredient is not a sulfate surfactant and is commonly used in sulfate-free cleansing concepts.

Q: Can lauryl betaine be used on its own as a cleanser?
A: It is usually blended with other surfactants for best performance, mildness, and viscosity control.

Q: Why does it help with thickness?
A: In many surfactant systems it can contribute to viscosity building and improve the structure of the finished cleanser.
