Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa)

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa) is a solid anionic surfactant of vegetable origin. It meets ECOCERT standards. It is not the same thing as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS)—it is a much gentler surfactant.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate

A very fine white powder.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfoacetate (SLSa) is non-irritating to the skin at up to 70%

Fine powder.

Characteristically soapy/detergent-y.

65%

5–7.5 (5% solution)

Anionic

Water

It offers fantastic, rich lather to our products. Due to the small particle size it readily dissolves in water, making it a great choice for things like bath bombs and foaming bath salts.

I’d highly recommend it, but it isn’t essential.

Wonderful, rich, long-lasting lather.

Inhaling it is beyond wretched.

As a bare minimum you’ll need a different solid anionic surfactant. You’ll also need to watch the active surfactant matter (you may need to use a different quantity of the new surfactant to get the same ASM level in the end product) and the pH of the final product.

Wear a dust mask! Inhaling airborne powdered surfactants is unbelievably unpleasant.

You can dissolve it into the heated water phase for liquid concoctions, or stir/mash the powder into blends of butters and/or other surfactants to create syndet bars. It can also be added to the powder phase of bath bombs and other bath products.

Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, SLSa should last for two years.

SLSa is an easy way to make almost anything foam!
