ROKAtend LS MB is an anionic surfactant from the group of amino-acid surfactants with INCI name: Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate. It is produced basing on biomimetics, which are raw materials imitating naturally occurring chemical compounds and fatty acids (raw materials of plant origin). The surfactant is provided as an aqueous solution with the active substance content of approx. 30%. This product is widely used in various industries (cosmetics, detergents, household and industrial cleaning).
ROKAtend LS MBbelongs to the group of products covered by the RSPO certificate in the Mass Balance model(www.rspo.org). This means that the palm oil used to produce the basic raw material included in the ROKAtend LS MB product comes from crops that do not contribute to the depletion of natural values. At the same time, its production respects the rights of people living in areas where oil palms are grown.
Amino acid surfactants are among the milder surfactants available on the market. As primary and secondary surfactants, they are mild to the human skin. Many studies indicate that they are hypoallergenic and non-acnegenic. Due to strong adsorption on protein surfaces, they give the skin the long-term comfort and softness ssensation. They are very mild hair washing agent. They have low toxicity to human skin cells. They give the hair soft and silky sensation.
These surfactants have good foaming properties, also at a higher pH range. When using a higher concentration of ROKAtend LS MB in the final formulation, the amount (height) and stability of produced foam may be compared with the top foaming surfactants (SLES and betaine). Amino-acid surfactants have good tolerance to highly alkaline environment and may be used as aids in foam formation, even at high pH values that in case of other surfactants decrease foaming efficiency.
The surfactant is a biodegradable product and meets the criteria of Regulation (EC) No. 648/2004 of the European Parliament and of the Council of March 31, 2004. on detergents and Regulation (EC) No. 1223/2009 of the European Parliament and of the Council of November 30, 2009 on cosmetics.
