Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES)
Appearance: White or light yellow gel paste
Application: Shampoo, Body wash, Hand sanitizer, Face wash and other Washing cosmetics.
SLES is a surface-active compound that has good foaming and cleaning properties and is soluble in water. SLES can maintain good surface activity at different pH values.
SLES is known for its high foaming ability, making it ideal for creating rich, stable foam in shampoos, body washes, and household cleaners.
2.Effective Dirt and Oil Removal
It is highly effective at emulsifying oils and removing dirt from skin, hair, and surfaces without leaving residues.
3.Versatile Applications
SLES can be used in a wide range of personal care, cleaning, and industrial products due to its excellent performance in both acidic and neutral formulations.
4.Mild and Skin-Friendly
When formulated at appropriate concentrations, SLES is gentle on the skin and does not cause irritation, making it suitable for use in a variety of personal care products.
5.Good Compatibility with Other Surfactants
SLES can be blended with other surfactants to enhance performance and achieve desirable properties such as mildness, foam stability, and cleansing efficiency.
6.Cost-Effective
SLES is a relatively inexpensive surfactant, providing manufacturers with a cost-efficient solution for effective cleansing and foaming properties.
