Description

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate reduces irritation


       Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is a gentle, biodegradable cleanser made from fatty acids and an amino acid called sarcosine. What makes it great is its ability to build up a really nice lather that doesn't instantly break down when it hits the oils on your skin or hair.


Because of that, it’s super versatile. In everyday personal care, you'll find it boosting the foam and cleansing power in shampoos, shaving creams, and face washes. But it’s also a hard worker in other industries—used in everything from polymers and lubricants to protecting metals from rust and treating textiles.



Properties:


Seven times milder than SLES: Exceptionally gentle on the skin and eyes.

Preservative-free: Available without preservatives for clean-label formulas.

Excellent compatibility: Blends seamlessly with anionic surfactants.

Foam booster: richness foam when combined with other surfactants.

Hard-water and salt tolerant: stability even in hard water.
