Sodium coco-sulfate is a surfactant, meaning surface active agent, used in skincare products for its cleansing and foaming properties. It is a type of sulfate derived from the fatty acids of coconut oil. Sodium coco-sulfate is similar to sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), but it is considered milder due to its composition, which includes a mixture of fatty acids from coconut oil rather than purely lauryl sulfate.
Information
Sodium coco-sulfate is a surfactant, meaning surface active agent, used in skincare products for its cleansing and foaming properties. It is a type of sulfate derived from the fatty acids of coconut oil. Sodium coco-sulfate is similar to sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), but it is considered milder due to its composition, which includes a mixture of fatty acids from coconut oil rather than purely lauryl sulfate.
Where does it come from?
Sodium coco-sulfate is derived from coconut oil. The process involves extracting fatty acids from the coconut oil, which are then reacted with sulfuric acid and neutralized with sodium carbonate or sodium hydroxide to form the sodium salt of the sulfate. This results in a surfactant that can be used in various personal care formulations.
Effective Cleansing: It is a highly effective surfactant that helps to remove dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin and hair, leaving them clean and refreshed.
Foaming Properties: Sodium coco-sulfate creates a rich, foamy lather, enhancing the sensory experience and effectiveness of cleansers and shampoos.
Milder than SLS: Compared to sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium coco-sulfate is milder on the skin, reducing the risk of irritation and dryness.
Derived from Natural Sources: As it is derived from coconut oil, it is a natural alternative to purely synthetic surfactants.
How is it used in our products?
