Concern level

High concern

A plant-derived sodium salt of sunflower seed fatty acids used mainly as a mild cleansing surfactant and solubilizing/conditioning ingredient. It helps lift oils and soil while typically feeling gentler than traditional soap systems. ([haut.de](https://www.haut.de/inhaltsstoffe-inci/inci-detail/17677/?utm_source=openai))

Risks & Warnings

Mainly low-risk, but as a surfactant it can still contribute to dryness or mild irritation in very sensitive or compromised skin, especially in rinse-off products or formulas with higher surfactant load. Because it is derived from plant oils, rare sensitivity to sunflower-derived materials is possible. ([haut.de](https://www.haut.de/inhaltsstoffe-inci/inci-detail/17677/?utm_source=openai))
