APPLICATIONS

The secondary ester structure of Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate makes it more hydrolytically stable than many common esters and this coupled with its broad pH stability range makes formulating easy.
Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate is ideal for use in shower gels, facial cleansers, shampoos, liquid cleansing systems, and luxury foam baths.
Furthermore, Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate can also be used to prepare high performance, “sulfate-free” personal cleansing products as well as structured liquid systems.

Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate is a cleansing agent (aka surfactant) that can be found in clarifying shampoos, body washes and even toothpastes.
Derived from coconuts, Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate is a safe, mild alternative to harsh sulfates and other aggressive surfactants that can strip the hair of its natural oils.

Because clarifying shampoos are designed to remove oil and buildup from the hair, they typically contain surfactants such as Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate that have oil-attracting properties.
When you work the shampoo into your hair and scalp, Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate binds to those oils and impurities, removing them from the hair when it’s rinsed out.

Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate produces a natural oil called sebum.
Too much sebum buildup can leave our locks looking dull and greasy, but some is necessary to keep the hair and scalp healthy and moisturized.
Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate helps achieve that balance.

Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate gently cleanses the hair without removing those vital oils, allowing the hair to retain its moisture and shine.
Plus, unlike other sulfate alternatives, Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate produces a dense, creamy lather—so you can still suds up without stripping your strands.

Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate is biodegradable.
So, Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate is gentle on the environment, too.

Surfactants such as Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate are found in most cleansing products as they degrease, emulsify oils and fats, and suspend oil in order for it to be washed away.
While some surfactants can be drying and irritating, Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate has proven to be mild and gentle.

This is because it is a large molecule ingredient, which means it cannot penetrate the skin.
Therefore, Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate does not irritate it either.

Another benefit of Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate is its lathering ability.
Sodium lauroyl methyl isethionate allows the shampoo and conditioner to deliver an amazing hair washing experience because it creates a natural lather that rivals that of any non-natural shampoo on the market.
