Sodium Lauroamphoacetate

Sodium Lauroamphoacetate is a mild surfactant derived from natural sources such as coconut oil. It is an amphoteric surfactant, meaning it has both positive and negative charges depending on the pH of the formulation. This ingredient is commonly used in personal care products for its ability to provide gentle cleansing, foaming, and conditioning effects without irritating the skin. It is often found in formulations intended for sensitive skin, baby care products, and hair care products.

Key Benefits

✔ Foaming agent – Contributes to a rich, stable lather for a pleasant user experience
✔ Skin conditioning – Helps to maintain skin hydration and softness
✔ Suitable for sensitive skin – Less irritating than other surfactants, making it ideal for sensitive skin and baby products
✔ Enhances product mildness – Works synergistically with other surfactants to improve the overall mildness of the formulation

How to Use

• Can be incorporated into the surfactant phase of the formulation.
• Recommended usage level: 3–10% depending on the desired foaming and mildness effect.
• Suitable for external use only.
