Despite its chemical-sounding name, it is derived from natural sources, making it a popular choice in both conventional and natural skincare formulations.

Where does it come from?

Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate is derived from coconut oil, a natural and renewable resource. The production process involves the sulfonation of C14-16 alpha-olefins, which are hydrocarbons typically obtained from coconut oil. This process transforms the natural oil into a highly effective cleansing agent while retaining some of the beneficial properties of the original coconut oil.
