Librateric DAB-LS is a highly exciting, novel 35% active, ultra-low salt (< 0.5%), high pH, self-preserving Laurylamidopropyl betaine, manufactured from stripped, hardened and distilled coconut fatty acid. The coconut fatty acid is manufactured from certified sustainable Non-GMO Palm Kernel Oil.
Standard betaines contain c6% salt, which causes major issues with viscosity control in formulations, limiting the inclusion levels to c2%. Libra’s new technology produces betaines with ultra-low salt levels, typically 0.5% salt (but can even be 0.05%), giving formulators incredible freedom to include betaines at 10 -12%, offering the opportunity to make fantastic new products.
With a Natural Index* of 0.535 and a Natural Content* of greater that 83% (*to ISO 16128), Librateric DAB-LS is also ideal for your natural origin and additionally Vegan and Halal requirements
There are many benefits of using Librateric DAB-LS low salt betaine including:
- At < 0.5% sodium chloride, this is just 10% of the level in standard betaine which means that it’s possible to increase the betaine level significantly in your formulation.
- Librateric DAB-LS can become the primary surfactant in sulphate free formulations when SLS/ SLES is removed.
- Works well with non-salt tolerant co-surfactants such Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate as it removes the need for a synthetic thickener.
- The DAB-LS manufacturing process reduces the residual DMAPA to less than 5ppm
- Enables the formulator to develop more concentrated detergents as a result of much lower salt carry over from Librateric DAB-LS in formulations Vs standard salt betaine.
- Suitable for applications such as hand wash, body wash, face wash, shampoo, micellar water and concentrated surfactant blends.
- Mild surfactant
- High foaming
- Doesn’t strip colour from dyed hair
- Excellent Biodegradation profile, readily biodegradable (95% after 28 days)
- Excellent toxicity profile, non-skin sensitising.
