Sodium Sunflowerate

Sodium Sunflowerate, also known as Linnaeus, is a salt derived from vegetable oil, specifically sunflower oil. It is created in a process called saponification, where sunflower oil is reacted with sodium hydroxide. The result of this reaction is a soapy substance - just Sodium Sunflowerate.

This substance is one of the surfactants. This means that it can reduce the tension between a liquid and a solid, or between two liquids. Thanks to these properties, Sodium Sunflowerate is mainly used in the cosmetics industry. For example, it can be found in soaps, where it promotes lathering ability and also acts as an emulsifier, helping to combine water and oil into a homogeneous mixture. In addition to soaps, Sodium Sunflowerate is also used in hair cosmetics such as shampoos and hair conditioners, as well as in creams, lotions and other skin care products. However, its use is much broader and can also be found in household care products such as cleaning products.
