Grand LABSA

Grand SCI6X is a mild soap-free cleansing agent known for its ability to mitigate disruption of skin’s barrier. It is derived from coconut and is regarded as compatible with sensitive skin. It’s an anionic surfactant, meaning a cleansing agent with a negative instead of a positive charge. Anionic surfactants are the most common type due to their ability to lift and suspend dirt, oil, and debris, allowing them to be washed away.

Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate, commonly called SMCT for short, is a very mild, non-toxic, high-safety anionic surfactant for personal cleaning products. It is an amino acid based surfactant with excellent water solubility, hard water resistance, and good effectiveness in a wide pH range. Sodium Methyl Cocoyl Taurate has similar cleaning and foaming abilities to Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate(SLES), but is much low irritating and safer to the skin and eyes.

Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is an amino acid-based anionic surfactant. It’s a mild, safe, and green surfactant derived from glutamic acid (an amino acid from corn fermentation), lauric acid (a fatty acid derived from coconut oil), and sodium hydroxide. Like the other amino acid surfactants, Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate is an ideal ingredient trending in personal care products. It’s non-irritant, non-allergic, non-comedogenic, and resistant to hard water.

Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate, like its ‘sister’ Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate, is another Glycine amino acid based surfactant. They have similar properties, only that Potassium Cocoyl Glycinate has better solubility, which makes it even easier to rinse off, although Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate is already easy to rinse off.

Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate is another amino acid-based surfactant. It’s considered one of the mildest anionic surfactants by far, yet with excellent foaming and cleaning abilities. It is derived from the amino acid glycine and coconut fatty acids, which are all from natural renewable sources. Glycine is the smallest amino acid, and it gives Sodium Cocoyl Glycinate a smaller and lighter charged hydrophilic head compared to all other anionic surfactants. This property makes it the least irritating surfactant.

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, often known as Sarcosyl, is one of the most widely used amino acid-derived surfactants. Amino acid surfactants are a group of surfactants derived from amino acids and fatty acids. They have been trending surfactants to use in a wide range of personal care products for their complete biodegradability, high safeness, mildness, and non-irritation properties.

Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, also known as DLS for short, is a very mild, non-irritating anionic surfactant. It features excellent detergency, yet with medium degreasing power, which enables the final product to clean well and leaves the skin and hair a delicate feeling after washing. DLS is considered by far the best choice of a primary surfactant to formulate sulfate-free gentle hair and skin care products.

Potassium Cocoate is the potassium salt of the coconut fatty acid. It’s often called ‘potassium soap,’ as soap is the sodium salt of the coconut fatty acid. It is derived from 100% natural coconut oil and potassium hydroxide and consists of a mixture of fatty acids.

Ammonium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, commonly known as ALES or AESA for short, has very similar foaming, emulsifying, and cleaning properties to Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate(SLES), but with better solubility in water. Better solubility gives two obvious benefits, which are a) it’s faster to dissolve and form a homogeneous compound in the production so to shorten production time; b) it’s easier to rise off and leaves less residue in washing.

Alpha Olefin Sulphonate, or α-Olefin sulfonates, commonly called AOS for short, is a third-generation anionic surfactant. It’s biodegradable, mild, and resistant to hard water, yet it has outstanding detergency and excellent compatibility with other types of surfactants. It’s widely used to formulate high-foaming heavy-duty detergent as the secondary surfactant alone with linear Alkylbenzene Sulphonic Acid (LABSA) or to formulate mild light-duty detergents and personal care products, such as hand soap liquid, shampoo, baby bubble bath, and so on.

Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulphonic Acid,  has been the world’s largest-volume synthetic surfactant used in the detergent industry for decades. It’s a very cost-effective anionic surfactant with excellent cleaning power and compatibility with other types of surfactants.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, often referred to as SLS, or K12 is a widely employed surfactant found in a variety of household cleaning detergents, personal care products, and cosmetics. This palm kernel or coconut-derived anionic surfactant stands out for its perfect balance of price and performance and is chiefly used as a detergent, emulsifier, and foaming agent in a wide range of products.
