Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a surfactant that is commonly used in cosmetic and cleaning products due to its strong cleansing and foaming abilities. It can be found, for example, in shampoos, shower gels, soaps, toothpastes, and also in some household detergents.
Properties and Uses: SLS effectively removes dirt and grease, which makes it popular in products intended for washing. It creates a rich foam, which increases the comfort of use for consumers.
Safety: SLS is generally considered safe when used as directed. However, it can irritate the skin and mucous membranes, especially in people with sensitive skin or when used in higher concentrations. Therefore, regulated concentrations of this substance are used in cosmetic products.
