General Description

Nanosurf SOS(L) is a liquid, nano-enhanced form of Alpha Olefin Sulfonate, a highly effective anionic surfactant derived from biodegradable olefins. Known for its strong cleansing, high-foaming, and excellent emulsifying properties, Nanosurf SOS(L) is widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations.

Compared to traditional surfactants, its nano-optimized structure improves dispersion, reduces harshness, and provides enhanced mildness on skin and hair while maintaining superior cleansing power. Its liquid form (typically 35–40% active matter) makes it easy to handle and incorporate into a wide range of formulations.

Uses in the Cosmetic Industry

Nanosurf SOS(L) is commonly used in:

  • Provides rich lather, effective cleansing, and good rinsability
  • Produces a luxurious foam with mild sensory feel
  • Offers deep cleansing without excessive dryness
  • Excellent detergent performance with stable foam
  • (in lower concentrations) – Safer alternative to harsher sulfates
  • Enhances foaming, reduces irritation, and improves formulation stability

Because of its balance between mildness and cleansing power, it is a preferred ingredient in sulfate-free or low-sulfate cosmetic systems.

Hazard Information

While Nanosurf SOS(L) is regarded as safe in cosmetic use when properly formulated, standard safety considerations apply:

  • May cause mild dryness or irritation at high concentrations; safe within recommended formulation limits.
  • Can cause temporary stinging or redness; avoid direct eye exposure.
  • Low risk in liquid form, but aerosolized use should be carefully evaluated.
  • Readily biodegradable and eco-friendly compared to conventional surfactants.
  • Best used in combination with amphoteric or nonionic surfactants (e.g., betaines, glucosides) to reduce irritation potential.

When used at recommended concentrations, Nanosurf SOS(L) provides a safe, effective, and sustainable surfactant solution for modern cosmetic formulations.

FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)

NanoSurf SOS(L) is a nano-engineered surfactant derived from Alpha Olefin Sulphonate (AOS). It retains all the cleansing and foaming benefits of conventional AOS but offers enhanced dispersion, stability, and sensory experience, thanks to its nano-scale formulation.

Alpha Olefin Sulphonate (AOS) is a third-generation anionic surfactant renowned for its excellent detergent properties, high foam stability, and mildness. It's increasingly used in sulfate-free formulations across personal care products—including shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers.

AOS also boasts broad pH stability, compatibility with hard water, and strong emulsifying and wetting capabilities—making it a versatile choice for modern formulations.

While NanoSurf SOS(L) delivers the same core functionalities—effective cleansing, rich foam, and gentle performance—its nano-form allows for finer particle dispersion. This results in:

  • Smoother application and improved sensory feel
  • Better transparency in formulations
  • Enhanced mixability with other formulation components
  • Potential to reduce usage levels while maintaining performance

Luxurious, stable foam even in hard water

Mild yet effective cleansing suitable for sensitive skin

Excellent compatibility with other surfactants and functional ingredients

Biodegradable and eco-friendly profile

Enhanced aesthetic and sensory qualities in formulations

NanoSurf SOS(L) is ideal for use in:

  • Shampoo (especially sulfate-free)
  • Body washes and soaps
  • Facial cleansers and bubble baths
  • Gentle cleansing products for sensitive skin
  • Any formulation benefiting from stable foam and pleasant texture

CAS Number: 68439-57-6

INCI Name: Sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate

Note: NanoSurf SOS(L) retains this INCI name for regulatory compliance, though its nano-form may be disclosed separately in technical documentation for transparency.

Yes. AOS is widely recognized as a mild and low-irritation surfactant. It is biodegradable and has a favorable safety profile when used appropriately. Regulatory bodies (such as CIR) have deemed it safe for use within typical formulation levels, especially in rinse-off applications.

Use NanoSurf SOS(L) similarly to standard surfactants:

  • Add during the aqueous mixing phase with gentle stirring
  • Its nano-dispersion ensures even integration and smooth texture
  • Ideal usage rates typically range between 5%–15% in cleansing and rinse-off products

All skin types can benefit, particularly:

  • Sensitive and delicate skin, for its mild cleansing
  • Scalp and hair care applications, for gentle yet thorough cleansing
  • Products requiring luxurious lather with minimal irritation
