its primarily there as a a surfactant/wetting agent (so is the soap)

Surfactants: Detergent Chemistry

there is one good reason to employ Shaklee however
Products derived from natural, nontoxic ingredients -- once seen as fringe -- are now mainstream. LA Times


When Shaklee began searching for a green surfactant, the ingredient that dissolves dirt and grease, no chemical company seemed interested in inventing one made from vegetables. Not until Shaklee called Germany and talked to chemists at Cognis, a specialty manufacturer.

The result: a biodegradable mix of coconut oil and sugar.

Josef Koester, marketing director for Cognis' Care Chemicals North America, said his company created the coconut-and-corn surfactant by incorporating a simple concept: "Using less chemistry."


thats not to say Basic is one of those green surfacants....
