Surfactants are major ingredients in personal wash products, such as body wash, facial wash, and hair shampoo. Personal wash products often contain irritating ingredients, especially when applied to human skin that is sensitive. Therefore, it is not smprising that one of the most desirable claims for personal wash products is that it is mild. ... 

Sarcosinate surfactants have been widely used in personal wash, skin care, and hair care formulations as coactives. They are particularly useful in providing a rich, stable lather, especially in the presence of sebum. Lathers produced from other anionic and amphoteric surfactants are remarkably enhanced by the addition of sarcosinates. Maximum foaming and detergency are developed in the pH range 4-8. The adsorption of sarcosinates onto the hair results in manageability and reduced static buildup. Sarcosinate surfactants are easily... 

The ANSI/ISEA Standard is a performance standard which also specifles flow rates and dnra-tion for skin and eye decontamination [198]. There is also a provision for Personal Wash Units which have the capacity to provide immediate flushing fluid [197]. Similar recommendations can also be found in the Enropean Standards (European Committee for Standardization NF EN 15154-1 2006). 

One application for SMEs and sulfonated fatty acids not usually found in the literature is soap bars. These can be personal wash/toilet bars or laundry bars. A 1942 patent discusses the use of SMEs in soap bars [41]. SMEs are also typically included in the extended list of anionic surfactants in more recent bar soap patents. However, they are rarely the focus of the patent. Sulfonated fatty acids do promote feel and improve smear properties [42,43]. More recently, the use of SMEs and sulfonated fatty acids in specific ratios was recommended [44].
