  Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS): Properties, Uses, and Safety

  SDS, also known as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) in commercial settings, is an anionic surfactant made up of a 12-carbon chain with a sulfate group attached. This structure gives it a “dual personality”—one end binds to oils, while the other loves water. Because of that, it’s remarkably effective at lifting away dirt and breaking down cell membranes.

  Is Shampoo Acidic or Basic? | The Chemistry of Hair Care

  To hit that ideal pH, formulators often add mild acids like citric acid or lactic acid. These aren’t harsh—they’re carefully measured to fine-tune the formula. Cleansing power usually comes from surfactants, but modern shampoos increasingly avoid aggressive sulfates (like SLS) in favor of gentler options such as sodium lauroamphoacetate, especially in products labeled “for sensitive skin” or “baby-safe.” That’s why baby shampoos are often praised for being ultra-mild—they’re designed to be non-irritating and pH-balanced from the start.

  Low Stimulus Surfactant: Sodium C12-13 Pareth Sulfate

  Generally speaking, cleaning products containing sulfates are not recommended, mainly because SLS, SLES, and other molecules contain "dodecyl" sulfate components. The ingredient has a strong irritant effect. Moreover, toxic by-products are generated during its processing. This substance is not only carcinogenic, but also has negative effects on the kidneys, liver, and central nervous system.
