AMMONIUM LAURYL SULFATE

Safety grade: A

This is a mild cleaning agent derived from coconut oil that helps remove dirt, oil, and makeup from skin and hair. It's similar to other sulfate-based cleansers but tends to be gentler than some alternatives.

It works as a surfactant to lift away oils and impurities from the skin or scalp while also creating the foamy lather that makes cleansing products feel effective.
