Ingredient
Sodium Laurate
Mid risk
FunctionSoap Base
What it is — Sodium Laurate is a fatty-acid salt (soap) formed from lauric acid, used as a soap base.
What it does — It provides cleansing and lather in bar and cream cleansers, lifting away oil and debris.
Typical use — Found in soap bars, cleansing balms and cream cleansers.
Who it suits / good to know — Soap-type cleansers are effective but can feel drying on dry or sensitive skin; follow with moisturizer if needed.
Safety — DHALIORA grades it mid risk, as soap bases can be drying for some. This is general information, not medical advice; patch-test if sensitive.
