SLES (Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate)

SLES (Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate) is an anionic surfactant commonly used in cosmetics and personal care products as a cleansing and foaming agent. SLES is derived from coconut oil or palm kernel oil and is known for its ability to effectively remove dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin and hair while producing a rich lather. It is often found in formulations such as shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and toothpaste, where it helps to create a luxurious and satisfying cleansing experience. Additionally, SLES can also function as a solubilizer and emulsifier in cosmetic formulations.
