Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is a mild surfactant and cleansing agent derived from sarcosine, a natural amino acid found in the human body and various biological materials. It is known for its gentle cleansing properties, making it suitable for sensitive skin. Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate also possesses antibacterial and antifungal properties, making it beneficial for acne-prone or oily skin. It is commonly used as a secondary surfactant to boost foam and luxury in foam wash products.
Benefit title : Gentle Cleansing: Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate effectively cleanses the skin without stripping it of its natural oils, preventing irritation and dryness. Benefit title : Antibacterial and Antifungal Properties: It helps reduce the growth of bacteria and fungi that can contribute to skin problems, making it beneficial for acne-prone or oily skin. Benefit title : Hair Conditioning: Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate can enhance the appearance and feel of hair by improving body, suppleness, and sheen, especially in chemically damaged hair. Benefit title : Mildness: Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate has mild refatting properties that help bring softness and moisture to the skin.
Suitable for all skin types, especially sensitive skin.
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is not expected to be potentially toxic or harmful, and has no mutagenic, irritating, or sensitizing effects. However, it may enhance the penetration of other ingredients through the skin.
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate should not be used in cosmetics and personal care products in which N-nitroso compounds may be formed. At pure usage levels it can cause irritation to the skin.
Derived from sarcosine, a natural amino acid found in the human body and various biological materials. Honest's sarcosine is made from coconut oil.
CIR approved when used in rinse-off products, or in leave-on products at concentrations of 5% or less.
Moderate hazard ingredient, primarily because of its potential to be contaminated with nitrosamine (a known carcinogen) and because of its classification as a penetration enhancer, which may alter skin structure and allow other chemicals to penetrate deeper into the skin.
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is FDA approved as an indirect food additive. Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is restricted in cosmetics and personal care products in Japan due to concerns about its potential to form nitrosamines, which are known carcinogens. Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is a derivative of sarcosine, which is a breakdown product of creatine or caffeine. Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is normally used as a secondary surfactant to boost foam and luxury in foam wash products.
