Description

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate 80% (SLES 80%) is a highly concentrated anionic surfactant widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its excellent cleansing power and rich foam production. Derived from fatty alcohols, SLES 80% provides effective removal of dirt, oil, and impurities while maintaining good skin and hair compatibility when properly formulated.

Due to its high active matter, SLES 80% is preferred in professional formulations where strong foam, clarity, and cost efficiency are required. It is commonly used in shampoos, hand washes, body washes, and shower gels.
