What it does

Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is derived from sarcosine, an amino acid found naturally in the body. Despite a name that reads like a harsh detergent, it is markedly milder than sulfates and is commonly used where a formula needs real cleansing power without the tightness. It foams moderately and is often combined with other mild surfactants.
