2. SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE PASTE

Sodium laureth sulfate, an accepted contraction of sodium lauryl ether sulfate, also called sodium alkylethersulfate, is an anionic detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products and for industrial uses. SLES is an inexpensive and very effective foaming agent.

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), also known as sodium laurilsulfate or sodium dodecyl sulfate, is an anionic surfactant commonly used as an emulsifying cleaning agent in household cleaning products (laundry detergents, spray cleaners, and dishwasher detergents. Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), sometimes written sodium laurilsulfate, is an organic compound with the formula CH 3(CH 2) 11OSO 3Na and structure H 3C−(CH 2) 11−O−S(=O) 2−O −Na +. It is an anionic surfactant used in many cleaning and hygiene products.

Sodium lauryl sulfate is one of the most widely used synthetic detergents in toothpaste. Generally, surface active agents lower the surface tension, penetrate and loosen surface deposits and emulsify or suspend the debris which the dentifrice removes from the tooth.

3. SODIUM LAURYL SULPHATE LIQUID

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is a surfactant, which basically means it has an effect on the surfaces it touches. It’s used in a variety of products such as food thickeners, toothpaste, and floor cleaners.

SLS can be found in both beauty and cleaning products.

Research suggests concentrations of one percent or less are safe on your skin. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is one of the ingredients you’ll find listed on your shampoo bottle. However, unless you’re a chemist, you likely don’t know what it is. The chemical is found in many cleaning and beauty products, but it’s frequently misunderstood.

SLS is what’s known as a “surfactant.” This means it lowers the surface tension between ingredients, which is why it’s used as a cleansing and foaming agent.

Most concerns about SLS stem from the fact that it can be found in beauty and self-care products as well as in household cleaners.

Sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) is a surfactant with a similar chemical formula. However, SLES is milder and less irritating than SLS.

If you look under your bathroom sink, or on the shelf in your shower, it’s very likely you’ll find SLS in your home. It’s used in a variety of products, including:

Grooming products, such as shaving cream, lip balm, hand sanitizer, nail treatments, makeup remover, foundation, facial cleansers, exfoliants, and liquid hand soap
Hair products, such as shampoo, conditioner, hair dye, dandruff treatment, and styling gel
Dental care products, such as toothpaste, teeth whitening products, and mouthwash
Bath products, such as bath oils or salts, body wash, and bubble bath
Creams and lotions, such as hand cream, masks, anti-itch creams, hair-removal products, and sunscreen

You’ll notice that all of these products are topical, or applied directly to the skin or body. SLS is also used as a food additive, usually as an emulsifier or a thickener. It can be found in dried egg products, some marshmallow products, and certain dry beverage bases.

4. SODIUM LAURYL ETHER SULPHATE POWDER

Being an anionic surfactant, it is a major ingredient in soaps, toothpaste, shampoos, etc. due to its cleansing and emulsifying characteristics.

It is useful in carpet cleaning and cleansers. You can find SLES in hand wash, body washes, and laundry detergents.

5. SODIUM LAURYL ETHER SULPHATE PASTE

SLES PASTE is an anionic detergent and surfactant found in various personal care products (soaps, shampoos, tooth pastes etc), the product is used in wetting agent formulations, liquid detergents, cleaners, and laundry detergents.

Used in wetting agent formulations, liquid detergents, cleaners, shampoos and laundry detergents. SLES is also surfactants that is used in many cosmetic products for cleaning and emulsifying properties.

SLES, or Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate, is a popular ingredient found in many personal care and cleaning products. It is a type of surfactant, which means it helps to reduce the surface tension of liquids, making them easier to mix. This property makes SLES an effective ingredient for cleaning and foaming applications.
