High Purity Sodium Laureth Sulfate SLES 70% for Cosmetic & Detergent Raw Material

Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES, CAS No.:68585-34-2, INCI: Sodium Laureth Sulfate) is a high-performance anionic surfactant produced by ethoxylation of lauryl alcohol (2-3 moles ethylene oxide) followed by sulfation and neutralization with sodium hydroxide. The product is supplied as a clear to slightly hazy viscous liquid with 68-72% active matter (standard 70% grade) or 28-30% low-concentration liquid for specific applications. It exhibits excellent foaming ability, strong detergency, good hard water resistance and enhanced mildness compared to SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). Our factory offers three main grades: Cosmetic Grade, Detergent Grade and Industrial Grade, all manufactured under strict quality control to comply with global standards including ISO 2271, EU Ecolabel and OECD biodegradability criteria (OECD 301B, >80% biodegradable). SLES is widely used as a core foaming and cleaning agent in personal care, household cleaning, industrial processing and other fields worldwide.

Applications
**Personal Care & Cosmetics Industry**：
Core foaming agent in shampoos, shower gels, bubble baths, hand soaps, facial cleansers and toothpastes. Its mild surfactant properties effectively reduce skin/eye irritation compared to traditional SLS, making it suitable for sensitive skin formulations. Cosmetic grade SLES meets strict purity standards for color, odor and dioxane content, ideal for premium skincare products.
**Household Cleaning Products**：
Key ingredient in liquid dishwashing detergents, laundry detergents, all-purpose surface cleaners and car wash formulations. It provides excellent grease-cutting ability, stable foam generation and hard water compatibility, ensuring consistent performance across different water conditions.
**Industrial & Institutional Cleaning**：
Widely used in textile auxiliaries (wetting agent, scouring agent), leather processing (degreasing agent), emulsion polymerization (emulsifier) and metal cleaning formulations. Industrial grade SLES offers cost-effective cleaning performance for heavy-duty applications.
**Food Processing & Agricultural Applications**：
Food contact grade SLES is used as a cleaning agent for food processing equipment and utensils, complying with FDA food safety regulations. It is also applied in agricultural formulations as a wetting agent and adjuvant to enhance pesticide effectiveness.
**Pharmaceutical & Healthcare Products**：
Used in medicinal shampoos, antiseptic hand washes and oral care products. Its gentle cleaning properties and good compatibility with active pharmaceutical ingredients make it suitable for healthcare formulations requiring both efficacy and safety.

Store in a cool (5-25°C), dry, shaded and well-ventilated warehouse, keep containers tightly sealed, protect from freezing and direct sunlight. Avoid contact with strong acids, cationic surfactants and oxidizing agents to prevent product degradation. Shelf life: 24 months under recommended storage conditions with minimal active matter degradation.

Safety Information
Low-toxic anionic surfactant, non-dangerous goods for regular transportation. May cause mild eye/skin irritation; avoid prolonged contact with sensitive skin. Operators should wear chemical-resistant gloves and splash-proof goggles during handling; in case of eye contact, rinse immediately with plenty of water for at least 15 minutes and seek medical advice if irritation persists. For spills, contain the material with absorbent substances and dispose of according to local regulations. Complete MSDS with detailed safety precautions, first aid measures and disposal guidelines is provided with each shipment.
