What is Lauryl Amine Oxide?
Lauryl Amine Oxide, also known as Lauramine Oxide, is an amphoteric surfactant derived from lauryl (coconut-derived) fatty alcohol. It is a mild, versatile surfactant that can behave as either cationic or non-ionic depending on the pH of the formulation, giving it excellent compatibility with anionic, cationic, and non-ionic surfactants alike. It is widely valued in personal care and cleaning formulations for its mildness, excellent foam-boosting properties, and viscosity-building capability.
Polychem Industries supplies Lauryl Amine Oxide to shampoo and personal care manufacturers, liquid detergent producers, and industrial cleaning product companies across India and internationally. Its unique amphoteric character and excellent foam stabilisation make it a valuable secondary surfactant in mild, high-performance cleansing formulations.

Applications & Uses
Shampoos & Hair Care
Widely used as a secondary surfactant and foam booster in shampoos, particularly mild and baby shampoo formulations, where it enhances foam volume, foam stability, and provides a gentle conditioning effect on hair.
Liquid Hand Soaps & Body Wash
Used in liquid hand soaps and body wash formulations to improve mildness, increase foam quality, and provide viscosity-building properties, making it a popular choice in premium personal care products.
Dishwashing Liquids
Used as a foam booster and viscosity modifier in manual dishwashing liquid formulations, improving foam stability in the presence of grease and oils, and contributing to a richer foam appearance.
Industrial & Institutional Cleaners
Used in industrial hard-surface cleaners and institutional cleaning products as a foam stabiliser and mildness enhancer, particularly in formulations requiring skin-friendly characteristics for frequent-contact use.
Car Care Products
Used in car shampoo and vehicle cleaning formulations to enhance foam characteristics and provide a smooth, lubricating feel during the washing process, reducing the risk of surface scratching.
Bubble Bath & Specialty Personal Care
Used in bubble bath, foam bath, and other specialty personal care formulations where rich, stable foam and skin mildness are key product attributes.
