Description

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is an anionic surfactant . As a surfactant, it most often functions as a cleaning agent, which also acts as an emulsifier. It has mild degreasing properties that help restore softness and hydration to the skin. It is especially useful in haircare products, where it adds volume and helps to smooth the surface of the hair follicles. Thanks to these properties, the effect of well-nourished and smooth hair is obtained.
