What is it?

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.

What are the benefits?

GENTLE NATURAL PURIFYING

What are the benefits?

  • Cleansing: It is a highly prized surfactant that can gently purify the skin and hair, leaving them clean and refreshed.
  • Foaming Properties: Sodium coco-sulfate creates a rich, foamy lather, contributing to the sensory experience and efficacy of cleansers and shampoos.
  • Milder than SLS: Compared to sodium lauryl sulfate, sodium coco-sulfate is milder on the skin, minimizing irritation.
  • Derived from Natural Sources: As it is derived from coconut oil, it is a natural alternative to synthetic surfactants.

How is it used in our products?

Sodium coco-sulfate is used in F38 Purifying Cleansing Gel and F71 Corrective Cleansing Gel from OLIVEDA and 009 Dope Your Glow Deep Cleanser from LA DOPE. Included for its natural and mild cleansing and foaming properties, it can gently purify the skin of makeup, dirt, and excess oil, leaving the skin clean without irritation.
