Cleansing components: Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate, Lauric Acid (Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate).

1) They may have the same initials (SLS), but Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate are NOT the same thing. Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate is only similar to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate in that they are both surfactants (and that is the only similarity).

2) It is important to note that Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate is not the same ingredient as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate or SLS. Although SLS is also used as a surfactant and their names are somewhat similar, it is not related to Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate and is instead derived from sulfuric acid.

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate in combination with Sodium Lauroyl Lactylate  provides very gentle and effective cleansing properties and that is why they are used in our Ceramide Creamy Cleanser.

Unique formula combines high effectiveness in removing all types of impurities, while maintaining gentle cleansing properties, intensive nourishment (thanks to the rich content of lipid components), softening and moisturizing effect of the skin.

The cleanser has physiological pH and has soothing properties, so it can be applied on the most delicate, demanding or sensitive skin condition.

General dermatological benefits

• Reinforces the natural lipid barrier of dry and ageing skin
• Improves long term moistursation and reduces transepidermal water loss (TEWL)
• Provides a rich portion of ceramides which are the key regulator of cell growth
• Stimulates DNA synthesis and cell division
• Supports in inhibition of apoptosis (a process of programmed cell death – PCD)
• Protects the skin from external influences and irritations
• Helps to balance the oily skin and hypersecretion of sebaceous glands (which is well known as one of four major players in pathogenesis of acne vulgaris)
• Contains linoleic acid (a component of ceramide EOP) which supports dermatological procedures against skin disorders, such as: psoriasis, ichthyosis, acne (vulgaris), atopic dermatitis, surfactant induced dermatitis

Moreover:

Linoleic acid contained in Ceramide EOP improves the peroxisome proliferators – activated receptors (PPAR) and retinoid X receptor (RXR) situation that regulates sebum production and hyperkeritinization/differenciation (and is what isotretinoin affects) – source: Acne.org Regimen™.

Benefits for skin prone to acne treated with isotretinoin medication (Retin A & the like)

Thanks to the rich content of emollients (lipid components) that form thin layer on skin’s surface the cleanser provides long-lasting protection against external irritations and promotes following benefits for the skin prone to acne:

• Calms inflammations induced by alcohol contained in preparations for external use in medical therapies against acne
• Reduces the discomfort of the skin associated with isotretinoin medication (dehydration, itching)
• Accelerates healing process of the tissue during desquamatory process caused by isotretinoin
• Deeply nourishes the skin and calms inflammation associated with acne
• Supports in reduction of red and purple spots left by acne

Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate – Final Report of the Safety Assessments

A comprehensive safety assessment published in the International Journal of Toxicology deemed that sodium lauroyl sarcosinate was not expected to be potentially toxic or harmful, and had no mutagenic, irritating, or sensitizing effects.
