AC-215 LENOCARE SLS (Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate) is a cosmetic formulation ingredient belonging to the anionic surfactant category. It is particularly useful in skin-care and personal-care formulations where effective cleansing and foam generation are required.
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is used as a surfactant-cleansing and skin-conditioning ingredient in cosmetic applications. It can be incorporated into formulations such as facial cleansers, face washes, body washes and other cleansing products.
Its surfactant properties make it useful for creating cleansing formulations with desirable foam and sensory characteristics. It may also be used in hair-care cleansing products such as shampoos.
Important: This is a cosmetic formulation raw material, not a finished skincare product. The final performance depends on the complete formulation and the concentration used.
