Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate - SLES 27% - CAS 68891-38-3

Product Summary

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES 27%) is an anionic surfactant based on ethoxylated lauryl alcohol.
In the form of a colorless to pale yellow viscous liquid, it exhibits excellent foaming and detergent properties while remaining gentler on the skin than Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS).
Derived from plant-based raw materials (coconut or palm kernel oil), it is widely used in cosmetic and cleansing formulations.
This REACH-compliant grade is suitable for professional applications: cosmetics, detergency, and industrial formulation.

Main Functions

• Anionic surfactant and foaming agent

• Cleaning and detergent agent

• Wetting and dispersing agent

• Emulsifier and foam stabilizer

• Compatible with nonionic and amphoteric surfactants

Industrial Use

• Cosmetic industry: shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, face cleansers, bubble baths.

• Detergent industry: liquid laundry detergents, dishwashing liquids, multi-purpose cleaners.

• Chemical industry: base for detergent formulations.

• Textile industry: wetting and dispersing agent in dyebaths.

• Automotive industry: component of vehicle body cleaners.

Professional Use

• Manufacturing of professional shampoos and shower gels.

• Development of body and hair cleansers with high foaming power.

• Formulation of liquid household products.

• Can be combined with Decyl Glucoside or Coco Betaine to improve skin tolerance.
