What is SODIUM METHYL LAUROYL TAURATE used for?
Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate is a terrific ingredient, having widespread applications in both the skin and hair care industries. Primarily, it is a surfactant, but it also possesses cleansing, foaming, and conditioning properties.
In skin care: Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate acts in skin care products to effectively mix otherwise unmixable ingredients and form rich and stable products. In cleansers, it lifts oil and dirt from the surface of the skin and mixes them with water to be washed away. Its gentle foam and non-stripping formula leave a moisturized skin feel after rinse-off. Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate is also commonly found in body washes, micellar waters, and baby products.
In hair care: Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate provides gentle cleansing in sulphate-free shampoos, leaving the hair and scalp fresh. Its mild nature ensures that it does not damage the cuticles or irritate the scalp in the process. It produces dense, creamy lather even in hard water.
Origin
Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate is a synthetic ingredient manufactured through a two-step process. First, lauroyl chloride is reacted with methyltaurine to form methyl lauroyl taurate. This is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide to form the final ingredient - Sodium Methyl Lauroyl Taurate. It is filtered and purified for use in cosmetics.
