Sodium Laureth Sulfate
💚Very good
Also known as: SLES, Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate
Surfactant
Cleansing Agent
Foaming Agent
Emulsifier
Surfactant
What it is
Anionic surfactant derived from coconut oil providing excellent foaming and cleansing properties. Milder than sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) with better skin compatibility.
How it works
Anionic sulfate structure lowers surface tension enabling cleansing. Ethoxylation increases mildness. Creates stable lather by reducing air-water surface tension.
Benefits
- Excellent foaming and lathering
- effective cleansing without harsh stripping
- removes dirt and oil
- suitable for various formulations
- effective solubilizer
- mild anionic surfactant
