Sodium laurate is a mild, plant-derived cleanser commonly found in soaps and gentle facial cleansers. It comes from lauric acid, which is naturally present in coconut and palm oils.

This ingredient removes dirt, oil, and makeup from skin by breaking down oils so they can be rinsed away with water, while also helping to blend oil and water-based ingredients together in formulations.
