General Description

Sodium Laureth Sulfate is a detergent and surfactant commonly used in personal care products such as shampoos, body washes, and toothpaste. It is a type of anionic surfactant and is known for its ability to produce foam and remove dirt and oil from the skin and hair. It is a milder and less irritating alternative to Sodium Lauryl Sulfate, which makes it a popular ingredient in products designed for sensitive skin. However, it can still cause irritation in some individuals, particularly if used in high concentrations. It is important to note that while Sodium Laureth Sulfate is considered generally safe for use in cosmetics, some studies have raised concerns about its potential to be contaminated with the carcinogen 1,4-dioxane. Therefore, it is important to use products containing this ingredient with caution.
