Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is derived from coconut and palm oils; a safe skin friendly surfactant (foaming agent) for both skin and hair. This mild plant derived surfactant creates a rich, luxurious lather that effectively removes suface oil, dirt and bacteria, without stripping or drying sensitive skin. Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate is also hydrophillic, This meas it is attracted to water, which enables it to dissolve more readily in water. thus providing superior rinseablility.

Thank you! Great information since have perioral dermatitis and told to stay away from SLS. Now I know which one is good and which one is bad.

thank you for providing a clear definition of these products.
Thanks for this great info. Couldn't find this anywhere else! Recently purchased an all-natural shampoo and was worried that the top ingredient: sodium lauryl sulfoacetate was the same as all the other harmful SLS.
It sounded so similar. God to know i can relax!
