CAS Number : 151-21-3

INCI: Sodium Lauryl Sulphate

Composition: Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is derived from lauryl alcohol, which is made from natural sources such as coconut oil or petroleum, and sulfur trioxide. It is commonly found as a powder consisting of sodium ions (Na+), lauryl Sulphate ions (C12H25SO4-), and associated water molecules.

Purity Grade: No purity grade applicable

Appearance: Sodium Lauryl Sulphate appears as a white to off-white, crystalline powder.

Solubility: Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is highly soluble in water, producing a clear solution. It is sparingly soluble in organic solvents.

Preservation : Sodium Lauryl Sulphate does not require special preservation. It should be stored in a cool, dry place away from moisture and incompatible substances.

Storage: Store in a closed container at a dry place at room temperature

Country of Origin: India            

Raw Material Source : The raw materials for Sodium Lauryl Sulphate include lauryl alcohol, which can be derived from coconut oil or petroleum, and sulfur trioxide, which is produced through chemical processes.

Manufacture: Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is typically manufactured by sulfation of lauryl alcohol with sulfur trioxide, followed by neutralization with sodium hydroxide. The reaction yields Sodium Lauryl Sulphate along with water and other byproducts. The resulting product is then dried and powdered.

Animal Testing: Not animal tested  

GMO: GMO-free (does not contain plant-derived components)

Vegan: Does not contain animal-derived components

General Description:
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a synthetic surfactant commonly used in personal care products. It is anionic in nature and appears as a white or cream-colored powder. SLS is soluble in water and has excellent foaming and cleansing properties.

  • Uses in the Cosmetic Industry:
    Sodium Lauryl Sulfate serves several purposes in cosmetics:
  • Cleansing Agent: It is a primary surfactant used in cleansers, shampoos, body washes, and toothpaste to create foam and remove dirt, oil, and debris from the skin and hair.
  • Emulsifier: SLS helps to stabilize oil-in-water emulsions, ensuring that water-based and oil-based ingredients remain evenly mixed in cosmetic formulations.
  • Foaming Agent: It enhances the foaming action of products, providing a satisfying lather that improves the sensory experience during use.
  • Penetration Enhancer: SLS can help other active ingredients penetrate the skin more effectively, enhancing the delivery and efficacy of skincare treatments.
  • Viscosity Modifier: In some formulations, SLS acts as a viscosity modifier to adjust the thickness and consistency of products like creams and lotions.

Hazard:
While SLS is effective in cleaning and enhancing product performance, it is associated with some potential hazards and considerations:

  • Skin Irritation: SLS can strip the skin of natural oils, leading to dryness and irritation, especially in individuals with sensitive or dry skin. It may cause redness, itching, or stinging sensations.
  • Eye Irritation: Direct contact with SLS can irritate the eyes, causing redness, discomfort, or tearing. It is essential to avoid contact with eyes and rinse thoroughly if accidental exposure occurs.
  • Sensitization: Prolonged or repeated exposure to SLS may lead to sensitization, where individuals develop allergic reactions upon subsequent exposures. This is more common in higher concentrations or with prolonged use.
  • Environmental Impact: SLS is known to be toxic to aquatic organisms and can bioaccumulate in aquatic ecosystems if not properly disposed of or treated in wastewater.
  • Drying Effect: Regular use of products containing SLS may contribute to dryness and exacerbate conditions like eczema or dermatitis in susceptible individuals.
  • Regulatory Oversight: Regulatory bodies such as the FDA in the United States and the European Commission regulate the use of SLS in cosmetics to ensure consumer safety. Maximum allowable concentrations and usage conditions are specified to mitigate potential risks.
