Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is a versatile product for use in powdered bubble baths, cream and paste shampoos, cleansing creams and bath bombs due to its excellent foam and viscosity response. An excellent soap replacement when sensitivity is present.
Derived from coconut and palm oils, Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSA) is a safe, skin friendly cleanser that offers rich lather without the irritation potential of some of the other good foamers. Because the molecular size of this surfactant is large it doesn’t penetrate the skin, or the mucous membranes, so it does not cause the skin irritation, of the sulfates, making it an excellent choice for soaks and facial cleansers and any other gentle cleansing systems.
1. Is Sodium Lauryl Sulphoacetate safe for daily use?
Yes, sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is safe to use on a daily basis in personal care products. Due to its mildness, it can be used on a daily basis by anyone, including individuals with sensitive skin.
2. How does the molecular size of sodium lauryl sulfoacetate impact its use in personal care products?
The large molecular size of sodium lauryl sulfoacetate means that it does not get absorbed into the skin which helps to avoid skin irritation that is commonly caused by smaller and more aggressive molecules such as SLS. This property makes SLSA ideal for use in products that will be used often or on sensitive or damaged skin barrier products.
