Comparison between sodium lauroyl sarcosinate and sulfate
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is a commonly used ingredient in daily chemicals. The world often suspects that it is different from sulfates, so it is discussed in detail.
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is an amino acid surfactant. It is mild in nature, and although its decontamination power is not as strong as that of sulfate, it is slightly irritating to the skin and hair. Taking cleansing products as an example, it can purify the skin without tightness, and has a certain moisturizing effect. Because its structure contains skin-friendly amino acid groups.
In contrast to sulfates, common ones are Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES). These two have strong decontamination power and can quickly disintegrate oil stains, which are more common in products with high cleaning power. However, its irritation is also greater, and long-term use may cause dry skin, itching, dry hair, and easy breakage.
The advantage of sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is that it is gentle and skin-friendly, suitable for sensitive skin and fragile hair. Sulfates, on the other hand, are better for strong cleansing, suitable for oily skin and severe oil stains. Therefore, when choosing, it depends on your own skin type, hair type and cleaning needs. For gentle care, choose sodium lauroyl sarcosinate; if strong decontamination is required, sulfate is also available. However, for the long-term health of skin and hair, it is advisable to weigh carefully, and do not blindly seek strong cleansing power and damage the foundation of skin and hair.
