Sodium Coco-Sulfate

Sodium Coco-Sulfate is an anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil fatty acids, consisting of a mixture of sulfated fatty acid salts with varying chain lengths (C8-C18). Unlike its cousin Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), it offers a milder cleansing profile due to its broader fatty acid distribution, making it popular in natural and sulfate-free formulations where formulators want effective cleansing with reduced irritation potential. It produces rich, stable foam and is particularly valued in solid formats like shampoo bars and syndet bars because it can be processed into a solid form, though it's also available as a 30% active solution for liquid formulations.
