About Sodium Myristyl Sulfate

Sodium Myristyl Sulfate is the sodium salt of Myristyl Sulfate.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, and reduce surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
