Disclosed are a novel self-assembled amino acid supramolecular polymer, a preparation method therefor, and an application thereof. The self-assembled supramolecular polymer is N-lauroyl-L-alanyl-L-alanine or a salt thereof, and the salt thereof comprises sodium N-lauroyl-L-alanyl-L-alaninate and potassium N-lauroyl-L-alanyl-L-alaninate. The disclosed polymer is more effective at inhibiting bacteria and removing pesticides, and can be widely applied to the daily chemical, agricultural, and pharmaceutical industries. Further disclosed are three methods for preparing the compound. The methods produce products in high yields and are suitable for industrial production.

The use of long-chain alkenones to impart desired characteristics in personal care compositions for topical applications is described. The preparation of mixtures long-chain alkenones and synthetic derivatives thereof is presented. Examples of compositions include abrasive soaps, with alkenones serving as natural exfoliating agents. Alkenones and their derivatives can serve as emollients, occlusive agents, encapsulating agents, stabilizing agents, binding agents, thickening agents, surfactants, and antimicrobials.
