Making Bar Soap with Lauroyl Glutamic Acid

Based on the information, Lauroyl Glutamic Acid (Powder) can indeed be used to make bar soap, specifically crystal bar soap.

Here's how you can use it:

Key Points for Using Lauroyl Glutamic Acid:

• Appearance: It is a white powder.
• Usage Rate: Recommended at 5-30% in cleaning product formulations.
• Solubility: Lauroyl Glutamic Acid has an acidic pH range (2.0-3.0) and dissolves well in water when the pH is above 7. You will need to adjust the pH with an alkali, such as Triethanolamine (TEA), until it dissolves clearly in water before incorporating it into your soap formula.

Although you originally intended to use Cocoyl Glutamic Acid, which is also an amino acid-based surfactant known for good foam and gentleness, the Lauroyl Glutamic Acid you received can be used for bar soap, particularly crystal bar soap, according to the product information. You just need to be mindful of adjusting the pH for solubility before using it in your formulation.
