Sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES)(CAT: M002117) is a widely used surfactant and detergent found in many personal care and cleaning products. It is an anionic surfactant derived from ethoxylated lauryl alcohol and often appears in products like shampoos, body washes, and toothpastes due to its excellent foaming and emulsifying properties. SLES effectively reduces the surface tension between water and oils, allowing for the removal of dirt and grease. It is generally considered milder than sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) due to the presence of ether groups, making it less irritating to the skin. However, some people may still experience irritation or sensitivity to it in high concentrations. SLES is popular due to its cost-effectiveness and versatility in a wide range of consumer goods.
