Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
Pharcos NaLS 30
Also known as: Sarcosinate | Lauroyl Sarcosine Sodium Salt
Pharcos NaLS 30 is an anionic surfactant derived from natural fatty acids and sarcosine (an amino acid). It is entirely sulfate-free and is celebrated for its extraordinary mildness on skin and mucous membranes. It generates a uniquely rich, creamy, and stable foam, making it a premium choice for high-end facial cleansers, luxury body washes, and specialized anti-enzyme toothpastes. In industrial sectors (like Oil & Gas), the sarcosinate structure acts as an elite corrosion inhibitor on metal pipelines.

How It Works
Unlike harsh sulfates (like SLS) that aggressively strip natural lipids and denature skin proteins, sarcosinates are highly biomimetic.
The sarcosine head group interacts very gently with the skin's natural keratin structure. It leaves behind a soft, elegantly conditioned 'after-feel' rather than a 'squeaky clean', stripped sensation. In oral care (toothpaste), sarcosine molecules possess a unique ability to inhibit hexokinase—an enzyme utilized by oral bacteria to break down sugars into tooth-decaying acids. Thus, NaLS acts actively as an anti-caries (anti-cavity) adjunct while delivering dense foam.
Technical Information
Common questions about Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate
Absolutely not. While they sound similar, SLS is an aggressive sulfate ester linked to skin irritation. Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is an amino-acid derivative that is exponentially milder, completely sulfate-free, and leaves skin feeling conditioned.
