What Do All of Those Long Names Mean? Time To Pop Mr. Bubble!

I don’t know where it says anywhere that in order for a soap to clean it must be foamy? Modern day marketing has convinced us that we’re not fully clean until we’ve worked up some serious bubbles. Lather is not a sign of cleanliness, in fact, to make a product work up lather, unnecessary salts are added to the actual cleaning mixture. The salts effect the pH balance of products and upset the pH balance of your skin. Salt can also cause skin irritation. Some of the common lathering agents currently used are:

Potassium stearate is simply potassium salt (a very basic soap compound of alkali and a fatty acid) combined with strearic acid.
Potassium myristate - a type of potassium salt with myristic acid that encourages lather.
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate or sarcocines are sweet crystalline acids formed from caffeine and used to prevent tooth decay, but are also found in soaps and shampoos due to their excellent foaming quality. Sarcocines are also found in starfish and sea urchins.
Other salt (sodium) related additives include: potassium palmitate, potassium laurate, pentasodium pentetate
