Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate
What Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is & what it does
Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSA) is a synthetic anionic surfactant derived from coconut and palm oils. It is commonly used as a cleansing and foaming agent that produces a rich, stable lather, and it is widely regarded as milder than sodium lauryl sulfate because its larger molecule does not penetrate skin as readily. It appears in bath bombs, bubble baths, cleansers, and powder-to-foam products. No specific concerns are flagged for it in this catalog.
