Product Description

Product Description

SLS Needle

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is an anionic surfactant widely used in various personal care and cleaning products. It is derived from coconut or palm oil and is known for its excellent foaming and emulsifying properties. SLS is commonly used in shampoos, body washes, toothpaste, and household cleaning products.

Rich Foaming Action
SLS generates dense lather, effectively removing dirt and oil. In shampoos, it cleanses hair thoroughly, while in body washes, it creates a creamy foam for a refreshing clean.
Effective Emulsification
As an emulsifier, SLS blends oil and water components. In toothpaste, it keeps ingredients evenly mixed for better performance. In cleaning products, it breaks down grease for easy rinsing.
