Sodium Laryl Ether Sulphonate Liquid

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) is a widely used surfactant and foaming agent in the cosmetics, personal care, and cleaning product industries. It is a clear or pale yellow liquid derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil. SLES is prized for its excellent cleaning and foaming properties, making it a key ingredient in shampoos, body washes, soaps, and dishwashing liquids. This anionic surfactant helps to remove dirt, oil, and grease from surfaces and hair by reducing the surface tension of water, allowing for better cleaning. Despite concerns about its mild skin irritation potential in concentrated form, when properly diluted, SLES is considered safe for topical use and is crucial in delivering effective and lathering cleaning and personal care products.
