It is generally well tolerated, even in those with sensitive skin. It has been ruled safe as used in cosmetics. It’s an anionic surfactant, which means the water-loving end of the molecule has a negative charge which helps lift and suspend soil from skin. This cleansing agent is often used in a blend with sodium cocoyl glutamate. This ingredient may be synthetic or derived from plants or animals. Paula’s Choice does not use the animal-derived version. Usage levels typically hover between 2.5–5%. Related ingredients: Surfactant Sodium Cocoyl Glutamate
