Oleyl sarcosine can also increase emollients deposition on the skin. 
Oleyl Sarcosines application in cosmetics (e.g. hair straighteners and depilatory cream) will be described.
Oleyl Sarcosine (Sarkosyl O) is an amphiphilic oleic acid derivative having a sarcosine head group (N-methylglycine) which is used as a water-in-oil emulsifier and corrosion inhibitor.
Oleyl sarcosine is an amide of oleic acid and sarcosine (N-methylglycine), which is a normal metabolite in man.

What Is Oleyl Sarcosine?
The acyl sarcosines (Cocoyl Sarcosine, Lauroyl Sarcosine, Myristoyl Sarcosine, Oleoyl Sarcosine, Stearoyl Sarcosine) are modified fatty acids, and acyl sarcosinates (Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Sodium Myristoyl Sarcosinate, Ammonium Cocoyl Sarcosinate, Ammonium Lauroyl Sarcosinate) are their respective salts. 
In cosmetics and personal care products, these ingredients are used in the formulation of shampoos, bath, cleansing and shaving products.

Why is Oleyl Sarcosine used in cosmetics and personal care products?
Acyl sarcosines and sarcosinates enhance the appearance and feel of hair, by increasing hair body, suppleness, or sheen, or by improving the texture of hair that has been damaged physically or by chemical treatment. 
Oleyl Sarcosine also clean skin and hair by helping water to mix with oil and dirt so that they can be rinsed away.

Production
A standard method for the preparation of N-acylamino acids is the Schotten-Baumann reaction, in which oleoyl chloride (from oleic acid and, e.g. phosphorus trichloride) is added to an aqueous solution of N-methylglycine at pH 10 (kept constant by the addition of sodium hydroxide solution).
Fatty acid-free Oleyl Sarcosine is obtained as an oil.
The method is not suitable for industrial surfactant synthesis because of the relatively expensive production of the carboxylic acid chlorides and the expensive disposal of the phosphonic acid obtained as a byproduct.
Oleyl Sarcosine can be obtained in the reaction of oleic acid, N-methylglycine and Oleyl Sarcosines sodium salt at 170 °C for 8 to 10 hours upon elimination of water.

Oleyl sarcosine uses and applications include: 
-Corrosion inhibitor, 
-detergent, 
-wetting agent, 
-foam boosterstabilizer, 
-emulsifier for cosmetics, 
-householdindustrial cleaners, 
-biotechnology, agriculture, 
-textiles, 
-petroleum products, 
-metalworking fluids, 
-surfactant coatings, 
-emulsion polymerization; 
-surfactant for carpet shampoos, 
-fabric detergents, dishwash, 
-cosmetics, toiletries, 
-toothpaste; 
-water treatment; 
-mold release agent for RIM; 
-stabilizer for polyols; 
-antistat in cosmetics; 
-antifog and antistat in plastics and food packaging; 
-corrosion inhibitor in lubricants for incidental food-contact use; 
-antistat in cosmetics

More gentle conditions (120 °C) and shorter reaction times (3.5 hours) can be used when methyl oleate is reacted with sodium N-methylglycinate upon the addition of equimolar amounts of sodium methoxide in methanol. 
After absorption in water, acidification with concentrated sulfuric acid and extraction with butanone, Oleyl Sarcosine is obtained in 92.5% yield.

Major Uses of Oleyl Sarcosine:

Oleyl sarcosine has been established that the adsorption of oleyl sarcosinate on zinc is multilayer, which contributes to its best protection under anodic dissolution and in a humid atmosphere with periodic condensation of moisture on the samples. 
Treatment of Zn in aqueous solutions of inhibitors increases the time until the appearance of the first corrosion lesions on it under conditions of humid atmosphere 2.5–4.5 times.

Oleoyl Sarcosine may or may not be vegan. 
Oleyl sarcosine is a compound of Oleic Acid and Sarcosine, used in cosmetics. 
Oleic Acid can have plant or animal sources.
Sarcosine can have plant, animal, or microbiological sources.

Properties
Oleyl Sarcosine is a clear, yellow to brown, viscous liquid, which is sparsely soluble in water and acts acidic. 
As long-chain N-acylamino acid, the surfactant is soluble in many organic solvents and in mineral oil. 
In the alkaline Oleyl Sarcosine dissolves well in water. 
Because of Oleyl Sarcosines carboxamide structure, Sarkosyl O is chemically stable even at high pH values and strongly foaming as an anionic surfactant. 
N-oleyl sarcosine is only slightly toxic and easily biodegradable.

Applications
Oleyl Sarcosine is a mild surfactant which irritates skin and eyes comparatively little and is therefore used in personal care products such as skin cleansing agents because of its antimicrobial and virucidal properties.
The sarcosine head group of the long-chain amphiphilic N-acylamino acid is responsible for the formation of chelate-like structures in the adsorption on polar and charged surfaces, e.g. on metals.
The molecules form oriented monomolecular films that protect the metal surface from corrosive attack.

Oleyl Sarcosine possesses already at low concentrations very good rust protection properties (in particularly in combination with the imidazoline derivative 2-(2-heptadec-8-enyl-2-imidazolin-1-yl)ethanol which also acts emulsifying and anticorrosive), also against non-ferrous metals such as aluminum and copper.
Therefore, Oleyl Sarcosine is added as a corrosion inhibitor and emulsifier to rust protection fluids and lubricating greases, fuels and lubricants and refrigerating lubricants such as drilling and cutting oils.
