The landscape of surfactants is diverse, with Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) and Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) being two of the most prominent. While both are effective anionic surfactants, SLES offers distinct advantages that have led to its increased preference in various applications, particularly in personal care. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. supplies SLES 70% and understands the critical differences that make it a superior choice for many formulators.

The primary distinction between SLS and SLES lies in their chemical structure and manufacturing process. SLS is a more basic surfactant, while SLES undergoes ethoxylation. This added step introduces ethylene oxide groups, which modify the molecule’s properties, making SLES significantly milder and less irritating to the skin and eyes compared to SLS. This gentleness is a key selling point for products like shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, where consumer comfort and safety are paramount. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. emphasizes these gentler characteristics when discussing the benefits of SLES 70%.

In terms of performance, both surfactants offer excellent detergency and foaming. However, SLES often provides a more stable and creamy lather, which is aesthetically pleasing to consumers. Additionally, SLES exhibits better solubility and compatibility with other ingredients, including hard water ions, which can reduce the effectiveness of SLS. This means that products formulated with SLES can maintain their performance across a broader range of conditions. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. ensures that its SLES 70% consistently delivers these superior performance attributes.

Furthermore, the environmental profile of SLES is also a consideration. It is generally considered more readily biodegradable than SLS. As the demand for sustainable ingredients grows, SLES presents a more favorable option for manufacturers committed to eco-friendly practices. NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. supports this by providing a high-quality, responsibly sourced SLES 70%. For businesses looking to formulate effective, gentle, and increasingly sustainable products, SLES 70% from NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. stands out as the preferred ingredient.
