SLES is an anionic surfactant that is widely used in rinse-off products as a primary surfactant. In addition to excellent detergency (also referred to as cleansing), SLES also has excellent emulsification and foamability. It is a major component of rinse-off products. It is compatible with all surfactants except cationic.
SLES is available in 28% and 70% active concentrations.
For exports, 70% active concentration is preferred.  
SLES is derived from palm kernel oil or coconut oil. It is commonly used in cosmetic products for cleaning and emulsifying properties. SLES is used in hand wash liquid soap, shampoo, dish wash liquid soap, face wash, etc. SLS (Sodium Larth Sufate) has been mostly replaced by its ethoxylated derivative - Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) as SLS causes irritation to the skin.

Features

• SLES is available in 28% liquid form and 70% is in gel form
• SLES has good solvency, favorable hard-water resistance, and high-biodegradation. It also facilitates ease of formulation and production. In addition, it also creates a degree of thickening to the final product formulation.
