Overview of Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate (SLES) is a high-performance anionic surfactant widely used in personal care, cosmetic, and home care formulations. It is valued for its excellent cleansing ability, rich foaming characteristics, and good emulsifying properties. Compared to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), SLES is milder on skin and hair, making it a preferred choice for shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, and facial cleansers.
ChemicalBull supplies premium-quality Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulphate suitable for cosmetic, personal care, and industrial-grade applications.
