What it is — Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate (INCI: Sodium Lauroyl Glutamate) is a mild, amino-acid-derived (glutamic acid) surfactant.

Typical use — It appears in facial cleansers, body washes and shampoos as a mild primary or secondary surfactant.

Who it suits / good to know — Often chosen for gentle, sensitive-skin cleansers. As with any surfactant, how it feels depends on the whole blend and water conditions.

Safety — DHALIORA grades it low risk: a mild amino-acid surfactant, well tolerated. This reflects the ingredient in general and is not medical advice; patch-test if your skin is easily irritated.
