Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES-2EO)
Description
Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES-2EO) is a high-purity anionic surfactant derived from natural fatty alcohols. It provides excellent cleaning, emulsifying, and foaming performance while maintaining low irritation to the skin and eyes.
This versatile liquid surfactant is widely used in personal care and household formulations, including shampoos, hand washes, body washes, and foaming cleansers.
SLES-2EO delivers a rich, stable lather, excellent foam stability, and superior viscosity control, making it a preferred choice for formulators seeking high performance, consistency, and mildness.
