Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES-3EO)

Description

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES-3EO) is a high-quality anionic surfactant derived from natural fatty alcohols and ethylene oxide. It is characterized by low color, low odor, and outstanding foaming performance, making it ideal for use in personal care, cosmetic, and cleaning formulations.

SLES-3EO provides superior mildness, excellent viscosity building, and foam stability, offering formulators enhanced flexibility and consistency. Its excellent cleaning efficiency and skin-friendly nature make it a preferred ingredient in shampoos, hand wash liquids, bubble baths, and household detergents.

Applications

SLES-3EO acts as a high-performance surfactant that effectively reduces surface tension, providing excellent wetting, cleaning, and foaming capabilities.
It is widely used in:

  • Shampoos and conditioners

  • Hand wash liquids and body washes

  • Facial cleansers and bubble baths

  • Dishwashing and laundry liquids

  • Household and industrial cleaning formulations


Compatibility & Formulation Notes

  • Compatible with anionic, nonionic, and amphoteric surfactants.

  • Not compatible with cationic surfactants due to ionic charge differences.

  • Stable across a wide pH range and retains performance in hard water and in the presence of metal ions or oxidizing agents.

  • Viscosity can be adjusted using electrolytes, amides, or ethoxylates for formulation flexibility.
