Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate)

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is an anionic surfactant widely used in cosmetic formulations for effective cleansing and a rich, dense foam profile, often selected as a milder alternative to some traditional sulfate surfactants. It delivers strong lather and good rinse-off while helping reduce the perception of dryness when balanced with suitable co-surfactants and conditioning agents. Because it performs well in powdered and solid formats, it is especially popular in bath products such as bubble bath powders, shower powders, and syndet cleansing bars, as well as in foaming body washes and shampoos where abundant foam and a clean finish are desired. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is typically incorporated alongside amphoteric or non-ionic surfactants to optimize mildness, viscosity, and sensory feel. Use level and overall performance are formulation-dependent and are guided by the target foam character, product format, and skin or scalp comfort goals.
