SLES – Sodium lauryl ether sulfate
SLES is commonly used in the production of shampoo, wetting agents in the textile sector, and firefighting foams. Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate is primarily used in the textile sector for shampoo and the manufacture of wetting agents. An anionic surfactant that is easily pourable, palm-derived, and produces a lot of foam.
It is employed in the chemical formulation and detergent producing sectors. It’s a Sodium Lauryl Sulfate with a greater foaming capacity (SLS).
Sodium lauryl ether sulfate
Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES), an accepted contraction of sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), is an anionic detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, etc.). SLES is an inexpensive and very effective foaming agent. SLES, sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS), and sodium pareth sulfate are surfactants that are used in many cosmetic products for their cleaning and emulsifying properties. It is derived from palm kernel oil or coconut oil.
Its chemical formula is CH3(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)nOSO3Na. Sometimes the number represented by n is specified in the name, for example laureth-2 sulfate. The product is heterogeneous in the number of ethoxyl groups, where n is the mean. Laureth-3 sulfate is common in commercial products.
Sodium lauryl ether sulfate Benefits
Sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) is a common surfactant, or detergent, that is used in a wide variety of personal care and household cleaning products. Here are some potential benefits of SLES:
- Cleaning: SLES is a powerful cleaning agent that can help remove dirt, oil, and other contaminants from surfaces.
- Foaming: SLES is known for its ability to produce rich, foamy lather in personal care products like shampoos, body washes, and bubble baths.
- Emulsifying: SLES is also an effective emulsifying agent, which means it can help mix together ingredients that would normally separate, such as oil and water.
- Compatibility: SLES is compatible with a wide range of other ingredients, making it a versatile and commonly used ingredient in many different products.
However, it’s important to note that some people may be sensitive or allergic to SLES, and it can be drying to the skin and hair in high concentrations. Additionally, there is some concern that SLES may be harmful to the environment, particularly in terms of its potential to bioaccumulate in aquatic ecosystems. As with any ingredient, it’s important to use SLES-containing products as directed and to be aware of any potential side effects or risks.
