Lauramine Oxide (LAO)
CAS Number: 1643-20-5
Lauramine oxide is an amphoteric surfactant that acts as a nonionic in alkaline conditions and a cationic in acidic conditions. It is a powerful foam booster and stabilizer, enhancing the foam profile of anionic surfactants significantly. Its mildness to skin and eyes makes it a preferred ingredient in personal care and baby-product formulations.
