Anionic Surfactants
Ajinomoto amino acid-derived anionic surfactants are available in many types of products which leave a wide range of sensory effects on the skin: AMISOFT® is noted for moisturizing skin while AMILITE® and AMINOSOAP® are known for leaving the skin feeling fresh. All these products are hypoallergenic, highly biodegradable, and environmentally friendly. The products are available in a number of forms for personal care such as shampoos, facial cleansers, body washes, skin creams, and soap bars.
AMISOFT® SeriesSince Ajinomoto developed AMISOFT®, a pioneering product in amino acid-based, weakly acidic surfactants, AMISOFT® has been at the forefront of the production of mild surfactants. AMISOFT® is derived from L-glutamic acid (an amino acid) and natural fatty acids. The AMISOFT® series is extremely hypoallergenic and well suited as a mild cleansing agent. The pH level of the agents is similar to that of the skin, therefore, they are very mild to the skin. Our products don’t dry out the skin, but leave it feeling moisturized after washing. AMISOFT® is available in a variety of products including the compounds of potassium salt and sodium salt, a non-neutralized form (acid type), and compounds of varying acyl chain length. You can select the compound most suited to your end products, including soap bars, facial cleansing foams, liquid cleansers, etc.
- Very mild and hypoallergenic.
- Weakly acidic, similar to the pH level of the skin, leaving the skin without a taut feeling.
- Mild and gentle to the hair without leaving it dry and coarse.
AMILITE® SeriesAMILITE® is available in two versions : the glycine type, which is produced from glycine and natural fatty acids, and the alanine type, which is produced from alanine and natural fatty acids. AMILITE® 's main characteristic is its high foaming ability. It produces creamy, rich foam. It is notable for leaving the skin feeling fresh without making it feel taut. The glycine type exhibits a synergistic effect with fatty acids, consequently, yielding a higher quality of elasticity as well as volume of foam. This effect makes it most suitable for body washes and facial cleansing foams. The alanine type maintains high foaming ability even in the presence of oils such as silicon oil.
- Glycine and alanine, the main components of AMILITE®, are amino acids rich in human collagen and silk proteins, respectively.
- Creamy foams, which leave the skin feeling fresh.
- Due to the synergistic effect with fatty acids, volume maintenance and elasticity of the foam are improved.
AMINOSOAP SeriesAMINOSOAP is an amino acid-based soap consisting of L-arginine and coconut fatty acid derived from plants. AMINOSOAP helps to alleviate skin irritation when combined with ordinary soaps due to the hypoallergenic effect of L-arginine. It foams quickly, even in the presence of oil, and is easily rinsed leaving the skin feeling clean and refreshed.
- Plant-derived, amino acid-based soap.
- High foaming ability.
- Easily rinsed without making the skin taut after washing.
- Hypoallergenic, suited for combination with ordinary soap.
