Overview of Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid
High-foaming anionic surfactants like Linear Alkyl Benzene Sulfonic Acid (LABSA) are necessary for shampoos, body washes, dishwashing solutions, and personal care products. It creates rich, lathering foam with excellent cleaning power and is both economical and biodegradable.
For mild formulas, it neutralises to sodium salt in cosmetics. Related products, such as Triethyl Citrate, Glycerin, Caprylyl Glycol, Polysorbate 20, and Sorbitan Monooleate, optimise its use.
ChemicalBull supplies high-purity LABSA suitable for personal care-grade use.
