Description
SLSA Surfactant - The Gentle and Safe Foaming Agent for Effervescent Bath Products and Solid Cosmetics
SLSA Surfactant (Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate) is an anionic surfactant of vegetable origin. Although the name may sound similar to controversial ingredients, SLSA is completely different from SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate): it has a much larger molecule that does not penetrate the skin, making it extremely gentle and safe for use.
It is the "star" ingredient in the formulation of bath bombs, solid shampoos, and cleansing powders, offering a rich, stable, and luxurious foam without causing irritation or dryness.
Ingredients (INCI): Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate.
Characteristics
- Appearance: Fine or granulated white powder.
- Ionic character: Anionic.
- Quality: Vegetable origin (derived from natural fatty acids), biodegradable, and approved for natural and bio cosmetics.
Main Properties
- Excellent Foaming Agent: Produces an abundant, dense, and stable foam that is maintained even in the presence of a small dose of oils. It has exceptional stability in hard water.
- Remarkable Gentleness: With a low irritation profile for mucous membranes or sensitive skin, it is much better tolerated than classic anionic surfactants.
- Versatility in Solid Formulas: It is the ideal form for products that do not contain water (anhydrous), providing structure and cleansing power.
- Care Effect: Leaves skin and hair soft, without that "tight skin" feeling after washing.
- Efficient Cleansing: Effectively removes sebum and impurities while maintaining the balance of the epidermis.
Usage Recommendations
General recommended dosage: 1% - 20%
It can be used up to 50% in solid shampoos or syndet soaps.
Suitable for skin-friendly cleansing products, shampoos, bath bombs, shower gels, bath salts, bubble baths, bath truffles, facial cleansers, hand cleansers, cleansing creams, syndet soaps, and baby shampoos.
Applications
- Effervescent bath bombs and "bubble bars."
- Solid shampoos and solid hair conditioners.
- Facial cleansing powders and foaming exfoliants.
- Foaming bath salts.
- Hygiene products for children and people with sensitive skin.
Formulation Guide
- Procedure: Used as a primary or secondary surfactant, foaming agent. It can be dissolved in heated water, mixed with other surfactants, or added to the powder phase of bath bombs and bath salts.
- Handling Warning: The powder can be irritating to the respiratory tract if inhaled. It is recommended to wear a protective mask during the handling of the dry powder.
- Temperature: It is stable under moderate heating, which is necessary for melting butters/waxes in solid products.
- pH Range: Effective and stable within a pH range between 5.0 and 7.5.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is SLSA the same thing as SLS?
No. SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) is a small molecule that can cause irritation. SLSA is considered much gentler.
Can I use SLSA in a liquid shower gel?
Yes, it can be dissolved in warm water to create liquid products, but its main utility remains in solid or powder-type products where instantaneous foam is desired.
Safety in Use
Profile: Safe ingredient for topical use, biodegradable.
Precautions: Do not inhale the powder! Use a mask and gloves during preparation. Keep out of reach of children. In case of contact with the eyes, rinse abundantly with water. Do not ingest.
Storage: Store in the original packaging, tightly closed, in a dry and cool place. The product is hygroscopic (attracts moisture), so protection against humidity is essential to prevent the powder from hardening.

At 20% concentration and together with the 5% moisturizing surfactant it forms a very stiff, butter-like paste that remains in this state and does not revert to a more fluid form.

Very easy to create a shower family gel. The Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is solid (I think it s better to stock and no plastic), very high foam and mild with the skin because there is no sulfate than the others sodium lauryl. My recette is : 90% aqua, 10% SLSA, 2% Urea, 1% cosgard, 0.25% essentials favorites oils Very easy to make !!!
