AMINAT®-CG is a high-performance preservative specifically designed for natural cosmetics. It combines two active ingredients: Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate HCl (LAE®) and Glyceryl Caprylate, working synergistically for broad-spectrum protection.
LAE® is a naturally derived cationic molecule, built from three natural-origin components: L-arginine (a naturally occurring amino acid), lauric acid (from plant oils), and ethanol (from sugar fermentation).
Key Benefits
Safety & Sustainability: Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate HCl (LAE®) is non-irritating, non-sensitizing, and rapidly biodegradable into natural compounds common in the human diet.
Broad-Spectrum Protection: Highly effective against a wide range of microorganisms, with Glyceryl Caprylate reinforcing the overall efficacy.
Natural Deodorant Active: LAE® is effective against odour-causing bacteria such as C. xerosis, enhanced by Glyceryl Caprylate.
Conditioning & Skin Care: Provides a “softening” effect on skin and hair due to its cationic nature, while Glyceryl Caprylate acts as a refatting agent to maintain skin moisture.
Handling & Formulation Guidelines
AMINAT®-CG is engineered for versatility, performing particularly well in complex surfactant systems for natural formulations.
Compatibility & Stability
- Anionic Tolerance: Specifically formulated to remain effective in the presence of high anionic surfactant content and anionic thickeners like Xanthan Gum or Bentonite.
