Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate (Perlastan L 30) – 500ml
R126,00
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate may have the same initials (SLS) as sodium lauryl sulphate but it is not the same thing. Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is a mild anionic surfactant that is derived from sarcosine, an amino acid that occurs naturally in the body and certain plants such as coconuts. Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is an excellent gentle cleanser that won’t strip skin or hair of their natural oils.
Can be used in shampoos, facial cleansers, shower gels, liquid soap and shaving gels, as well as in DIY household cleaners.
Sizes: 300ml, 500ml, 1L, 5kg or 25kg.

Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate
Normally used as a secondary surfactant at 1 -5% to increase the mildness and boost foam of foaming formulations. To aid stability of the final formulation, the pH should be greater than 6.
Can be thickened with salt. Becomes viscous at pH 5, so you can also thicken by adding citric acid solution and testing to pH 5.
Readily biodegradable.
