Arginine Glutamate

Product Description

Green Stone Swiss manufactures high-purity Arginine Glutamate as a 1:1 amino acid salt for professional skincare and hair-care formulators. Produced under GMP-aligned controls, each lot is released with batch-consistent assay, full technical documentation, and free sample support for scale-up. Direct factory supply covers bulk demand without intermediary lead-time risk.

Arginine Glutamate is the 1:1 salt of L-arginine and L-glutamic acid (CAS 4320-30-3). Both amino acids occur in the skin’s natural moisturizing factor (NMF). The salt is readily soluble and typically near-neutral in aqueous solution, giving a more formulation-friendly profile than highly alkaline free arginine. In finished products it functions as a skin-conditioning and hair-conditioning agent, supporting moisture binding, surface feel, and hair manageability while remaining stable in aqueous solution under typical cosmetic pH.

Brands specifying NMF-inspired hydration systems, barrier-care emulsions, and amino-acid hair conditioners use this grade as a high-purity, water-phase building block. GSS supplies bulk quantities with COA and TDS support so procurement and R&D teams can qualify Arginine Glutamate quickly for serums, creams, masks, and rinse-off or leave-on hair care.

Key Benefits & Applications

Arginine Glutamate is a water-soluble 1:1 amino acid salt used as a skin- and hair-conditioning ingredient in professional hydration, barrier-care, and hair-care formulas.

• Delivers L-arginine and L-glutamic acid as an NMF-aligned salt with high formulation compatibility
• Supports moisture binding, surface hydration, and skin-conditioning feel in leave-on care
• Hair-conditioning support for manageability, softness, and fiber feel in rinse-off or leave-on systems
• Near-neutral aqueous profile versus free arginine, suitable for serums, creams, masks, and conditioners
• Typical use level: 0.05–0.3% in leave-on skincare; hair-care levels Available upon request

Formulation Guidelines

Use these guidelines to incorporate Arginine Glutamate into aqueous skincare and hair-care systems with reliable solubility and batch consistency.

• Suggested Use Level: Typical 0.05–0.3% in leave-on skincare; hair-care use levels Available upon request
• pH Range: Suggested 5.0–7.0; a 1% aqueous solution is typically near-neutral
• Addition: Pre-dissolve in the water phase; Suggested addition during cool-down below 50°C when heat-sensitive actives are present
• Compatibility: Compatible with humectants, hyaluronic acid derivatives, and most aqueous emulsions; avoid strong oxidizing agents
• Combine with Sodium Hyaluronate Crosspolymer for complementary water-binding and surface hydration.
