Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate in our Shampoo

As a 2nd ingredient, our "Clarifying" Shampoo has this ingredient which can help you get rid of your itching if it is related to the use of certain shampoos.

What is Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate?

Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate is a water-soluble, coconut-derived surfactant that also happens to be sulphate free is. This ingredient is an incredibly mild surfactant and is considered one of the safest on the market.

Why is it used?
Surfactants are used in most cleaning products because they degrease, emulsify oils and greases, and suspend oil so it can be rinsed away. And while some surfactants can be drying and irritating, Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate mild and soft proven. This is because it is a large molecule ingredient, meaning that it cannot penetrate the skin and therefore does not irritate it.

Another benefit of Sodium Lauroyl Methyl Isethionate is that it foams. Thanks to this ingredient, our shampoo delivers a great washing experience, as it creates a natural foam that is on par with any non-natural shampoo on the market.

How safe is it?
