Sodium Lauryl Sulfate 35% — Summary

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate 35% is an anionic surfactant derived from lauryl alcohol, typically sourced from coconut or palm kernel oil, and converted into a water-soluble cleansing agent through sulfation and neutralization. It is supplied as a 35% active aqueous solution and is valued for its high detergency and foaming performance.

In cosmetics and skincare, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate 35% is used primarily as a cleansing and foaming agent in rinse-off products such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, hand soaps, and toothpastes. It effectively removes oils, dirt, and impurities while contributing rich, fast-forming foam. Due to its strong cleansing action, it is most often formulated alongside milder surfactants to improve skin feel and reduce irritation, making it suitable for conventional and performance-driven cleansing systems.
