It is derived from coconut oil but after going through 3 chemical processes i.e. Hydrogenation of coconut oil to Lauyl alcohol and then Ethoxylation of it then producing SLES but in the process it is contaminated with an 1,4 Dioxane which is a known carcinogen, so it is probably less safe than pottasium cocoate as it is a single esterification process which is only one step without any contamination.
