Question

I want to use Lauroyl Glutamic Acid to increase foam in a bath bomb formulation. I understand it helps with foam, but I'm concerned about its solubility in water. Is it suitable for bath bombs, and if not, what is a better alternative for achieving good foam in a bath bomb?

Answer

Based on the information provided:

  • Lauroyl Glutamic Acid can help increase foam.
  • However, it has solubility limitations and does not dissolve directly in water.
  • For making bath bombs, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate powder is recommended as a more suitable and easier alternative that provides good foam.
