Description

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is a synthetic detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products, such as soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, and body washes. It functions as a foaming agent and emulsifier, helping to create a lather and dissolve oils and dirt so they can be rinsed away. It is derived from ethoxylated lauryl alcohol. While effective at cleansing, SLES can be irritating to the skin and eyes, especially at higher concentrations.

Dosage Information

Common Dosage
Concentration varies greatly depending on product type, ranging from less than 1% to over 50% in some industrial applications. In personal care products, concentrations are typically lower, often between 0.5% and 20%.
