Ingredients Details
Sodium Laureth Sulfate
Common Name(s): Sles,sodium lauryl ether sulfate,ales
CAS Number: 9004-82-4
DESCRIPTION
What It Does: Provides excellent foam and cleansing with significantly lower irritation than sls.
Why It's Used: The dominant primary surfactant in mainstream personal care โ improved mildness over sls while retaining excellent foam and cleansing performance.
How It Works: Ethoxylation (2-3 eo units) inserts polyethylene oxide spacer between dodecyl chain and sulfate, sterically shielding sulfate from direct protein contact, reducing irritation vs sls. full micellar cleansing capacity retained.
Typically Found In: Shampoos,body washes,facial cleansers,household cleansers
TECHNICAL DETAILS
Primary Category: Functional ingredient โ ethoxylated anionic surfactant
Secondary Functions: Skin conditioning
Application Areas:
Facial Skincare
Body Care
Hair Care
Beard Care
Color Cosmetics (Makeup)
Dietary/Oral Supplements
Typical Concentration Range: 2%โ15%
SOURCING & ETHICS
Vegan Status: Yes โ from coconut fatty acids
Halal Status: Yes
Source Notes: Ethoxylation process can generate trace 1,4-dioxane impurity โ reputable manufacturers purify to <1ppm. look for sles certified with dioxane specification.
SKIN COMPATIBILITY
Irritancy Rating: 2/5 โ low to moderate (significantly milder than sls)
Comedogenicity Rating: 0/5 โ non-comedogenic
Sensitivity Concerns: Well-tolerated by most skin types.
Safe for Sensitive Skin: Yes
SAFETY & COMPATIBILITY
Safety Profile: Well-established safety. ewg score: 3 (1,4-dioxane impurity concern โ use sles from ethoxylation with purification confirmation).
Works Well With: Standard skincare actives
Avoid Combining With: No known significant incompatibilities
SCIENTIFIC NOTE
Sles's reduced irritation vs sls directly correlates with the degree of ethoxylation โ sles-2 (2 eo units) is milder than sls but not as mild as sles-3 (3 eo units). each ethylene oxide unit adds steric shielding around the sulfate group, progressively reducing its protein-binding and denaturation capacity.
