Sodium Lauryl Phosphate (MAP)

CAS 50957-96-5

Sodium Lauryl Phosphate (CAS 50957-96-5) is an anionic surfactant and emulsifier belonging to the phosphate ester family. This ingredient is widely recognized for its mild cleansing and foaming properties, making it a preferred alternative to conventional sulfate-based surfactants in personal care applications such as facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and moisturizing creams. Beyond cosmetics, it also serves as an effective oil-in-water (O/W) emulsifier that imparts fine texture and pleasant skin feel, while its industrial uses include hard surface cleaning, textile scouring, and wetting processes. Environmentally, it is biodegradable and considered relatively eco-friendly, though care should be taken to prevent direct discharge into waterways. With its balanced performance in foamability, detergency, and low irritation, this product is a versatile functional additive suitable for both premium cosmetic formulations and industrial cleaning systems.

>> Main Uses

Sodium Lauryl Phosphate (MAP, CAS 50957-96-5) is a versatile anionic surfactant and oil-in-water emulsifier widely employed in personal care, household cleaning, and industrial processing applications. In cosmetics and toiletries, it serves as a mild cleansing and foaming agent for facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, baby care products, toothpastes, and moisturizing creams, delivering rich and creamy foam with significantly lower skin and eye irritation compared to conventional sulfate-based surfactants, while also functioning as an effective emulsion stabilizer that imparts a fine, glossy paste appearance and smooth post-application skin feel. In the household and industrial cleaning sector, it acts as a powerful degreasing and dispersing agent for hard surface cleaners, all-purpose liquid detergents, and automotive wash concentrates, effectively removing oily soils and suspending dirt particles across varied water hardness levels without leaving sticky residues. Additionally, it finds extensive use in textile, leather, and paper processing as a scouring, wetting, and penetrating auxiliary, facilitating the removal of natural fats, waxes, and sizing agents from fibers and hides, and serving as a de-inking dispersant in recycled paper production, all while being biodegradable and environmentally friendly.
