Foaming Oats
INCI: Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids
What is it?
This is a mild surfactant made by attaching lauric acid, a single coconut-derived fatty acid, onto amino acids extracted from oat protein, through the same acylation chemistry used across this whole family of amino-acid surfactants. That fatty-acid tail plus amino-acid head structure is why the class is generally co...
How is it used?
Add it to the water phase. Expect pH-sensitive performance similar to other amino-acid surfactants in this family, though this hasn't been independently confirmed for this exact ingredient.
