Information
Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate is a surfactant commonly used in skincare and personal care products. It is a cleansing agent that effectively breaks down oils, dirt, and impurities on the skin. 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.
Effective Cleansing: It acts as a surfactant, reducing the surface tension of water and allowing it to mix with oils and dirt, effectively removing impurities from the skin.
Foaming Ability: It produces a rich, stable lather, enhancing the sensory experience of using cleansing products.
Emulsifying Properties: It helps to mix and stabilize oil and liquid ingredients in formulations, ensuring a uniform and consistent product.
Mildness: Compared to some other surfactants, it is relatively mild, reducing the risk of skin irritation for most users.
How is it used in our products?
Sodium coco-sulfate is used in B21 Moroccan Mint Shower Gel and B55 Cinnamon Ginger Shower Gel from OLIVEDA. Included for its natural and mild cleansing and foaming properties, it can gently and effectively remove makeup, dirt, and excess oil, leaving the skin clean without over-drying.
