Name
Sodium Cocoyl Sarcosinate
Description
Sodium cocoyl sarcosinate is a surfactant, cleansing agent, and detergent.
Benefits
Cleans and lathers.
Considerations
• Skin Irritation
Corrosive to skin at higher concentrations.
• Eye Damage
Can damage eyes at higher concentrations. • Nitrosamine Contamination
Does have the potential to form carcinogenic nitrosamines under certain conditions.
