Overview
Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is an anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol and sulfoacetic acid. It is known for its mildness, making it suitable for skin‑ and oral‑care applications where gentle cleansing is required. It functions as a primary or secondary surfactant, providing excellent foaming, dispersing, wetting, and emulsifying properties.

Key Benefits

• Mild to skin and mucous membranes – gentler than ethoxylated alcohol sulfates (e.g., SLS, SLES), reducing irritation.

• Effective in hard water – maintains performance without losing activity.

• Good foaming properties – produces rich, stable foam.

• Versatile – acts as a detergent, emulsifier, and wetting agent.

• Can replace soap – especially when soap sensitivity arises, providing cleansing without the alkaline pH or scum formation.

Applications

• Toothpastes and oral care – as a foaming and dispersing agent for effective cleaning.

• Bath foams and bath products – generates abundant, long‑lasting foam.

• Shampoos and cleansing creams – mild cleansing for hair and skin.

• Cream shampoos and pastes – adds viscosity and foam stability.

• Syndet bars – replaces traditional soap for sensitive skin.

• Veterinary products – used in commercial enemas and antiseborrheic preparations.

• Industrial cleaning – as a wetting agent in various formulations.

Recommended Use
Typical usage levels vary by application:

• Oral care: 0.5–2%

• Shampoos and body washes: 1–5%

• Bath foams: 2–10%

• Syndet bars: 5–20%

Handling and Storage
