Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate Liquid

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate Liquid

MYOC Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate Liquid is a mild, amino acid-based surfactant that is used to create gentle, high-foaming cleansers for both skin and hair. This clear liquid is derived from fatty acids and is formulated for easy incorporation into sulfate-free skincare and haircare products. It serves as a practical building block for formulators developing facial cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and other rinse-off products.

Why Formulators Choose This Surfactant

Amino acid-based surfactants are preferred over harsher sulfates like SLS or SLES because they offer effective cleansing while being gentler on the skin and scalp. This is a key reason they are commonly found in "sulfate-free" products.

Where It's Used

Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate for Shampoo

A common choice in sulfate-free shampoo development, where it helps cleanse the scalp and hair while supporting a smooth after-feel and rich lather.

Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate for Body Wash

Used in body washes and shower gels to build foam and deliver a comfortable sensory experience without relying on harsher surfactants.

Facial Cleansers & Makeup Removers

Mild cleansing action and soft foam make it suitable for daily-use facial washes and makeup-removing formulas that need to stay gentle without sacrificing clarity.

Baby Care Formulations

Its gentle profile supports its use in baby shampoos and washes, where mildness and formulation stability matter most.

Men's Grooming Products

Delivers balanced cleansing and foam quality for facial washes and grooming cleansers designed for frequent use.

Sodium Lauryl Sarcosinate for DIY Formulations

For home and small-batch formulators, the liquid form of this surfactant is easier to work with than powder — it disperses quickly and blends into a formulation without extra processing steps. It performs across a range of pH levels typical of cosmetic products and supports clear to pearlescent finished formulas, making it a flexible starting surfactant for anyone building their own shampoo, wash, or cleanser base.

How to use

Incorporate during the surfactant blending stage of your formulation. As with any raw cosmetic ingredient, usage level should be adjusted to your specific formula and desired cleansing strength — always patch test finished formulations before full use.
