Basic Information

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES)
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate
SLES
Aqueous liquid; Concentrated paste

Sodium laureth sulfate, also known as sodium lauryl ether sulfate or SLES, is an ethoxylated anionic surfactant supplied as aqueous liquids or concentrated pastes. Its wetting, cleansing, and foaming behavior supports shampoos, body washes, hand cleansers, and dishwashing liquids. Blending with amphoteric or nonionic surfactants allows adjustment of foam and viscosity.
