Overview

Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is a small molecule surfactant and wetting agent used primarily as a laxative for the treatment of constipation and for bowel preparation prior to rectal endoscopy. It acts by reducing surface tension, thereby facilitating water penetration into stool, which softens fecal matter and promotes evacuation. Sodium lauryl sulfoacetate is commonly formulated in enema-type laxative products. It also finds use as a foaming agent in cosmetic preparations due to its skin-friendly profile[1][2][8].
