Sodium Tauroglycocholate: Biocompatible Solubilizer and Delivery Enhancer for Cosmetic Formulation Systems

Molecular Identity

• INCI Name: Sodium Tauroglycocholate
• Molecular Formula: C₂₆H₄₂N₂NaO₁₀S
• Source: Synthetic bile salt analogue for use in functional delivery systems

Functionality and Use Cases

Sodium Tauroglycocholate is a bile salt–derived amphiphilic compound widely applied in advanced cosmetic formulations requiring enhanced permeability, micellar solubilization, or active dispersion stability. It serves as a functional excipient in dermocosmetic systems, allowing for improved ingredient bioavailability and even delivery across the skin surface.

• Micelle and Vesicle Formation: Stabilizes emulsions and improves solubility of poorly water-soluble actives
• Delivery Enhancement: Supports permeation of actives in transdermal or deep skin care concepts
• Mild Surface Activity: Useful in low-irritation cleansers and solubilizing tonics
• Biocompatibility: Mimics natural skin components for enhanced tolerability

Typically used in pre-serum concentrates, delivery boosters, liposomal systems, micellar waters, and emulsions for active transport. Supplied in bulk quantities for formulation scale-up and industrial application.

Recommended Use Levels

• Micellar cleansers and solubilizing waters: 0.2–1.0%
• Delivery-enhanced emulsions: 0.05–0.3%
• Transdermal base systems or concentrates: 0.1–0.5%

Add during aqueous phase preparation or premix with actives. Compatible with mild surfactants, glycerol, PEGs. Avoid extreme pH conditions (ideal pH: 5.0–7.5).
