4. Key Performance Characteristics

• Excellent Emulsification and Solubilization: It exhibits strong emulsifying ability for animal/plant oils, fatty acid esters, silicone oils, and mineral oils, enabling the formation of stable oil-in-water (O/W) or water-in-oil (W/O) emulsions.
• Good Surface Activity: At low concentrations, it effectively reduces surface tension, providing superior wetting and mild cleansing performance. It also enhances the efficacy of other surfactants when used in combination (synergistic effect).
• Mildness and Skin Compatibility: Non-toxic and low-irritating, its molecular structure is similar to natural phospholipids, ensuring good affinity with the skin. It produces low foam and is easy to rinse, leaving no tightness after use.
• High Stability: It has anti-static and anti-corrosive properties, and is stable under acidic, alkaline, and high-temperature conditions. Note: It is not resistant to hard water (calcium/magnesium ions may affect its performance, requiring chelating agents in hard water formulations).

5. Application Fields

• Personal Care and Cosmetics:
  • Widely used in foam cleansers, body washes, creams, and lotions. Formulations containing Lauryl Monophosphate have a fine, glossy texture, and provide moisturizing and hydrating effects to the skin.
  • It ensures easy rinsing of products, leaving the skin soft without tightness, making it suitable for sensitive skin care products.
