Formulating with SLES 70%: Tips for Achieving Optimal Performance and Mildness
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. is a leading supplier of chemical ingredients, and we are committed to helping our clients maximize the potential of the products we provide. Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) 70% is a highly versatile surfactant, and understanding how to formulate with it effectively can lead to superior product performance and consumer satisfaction. This guide offers practical tips for formulators working with SLES 70%.
When incorporating SLES 70% into your formulations, it's essential to consider its primary functions: cleansing, foaming, and emulsification. As an anionic surfactant, it works by reducing surface tension, allowing oil and water to mix and dirt to be lifted. The 'laureth' component, derived from ethoxylation, significantly enhances its mildness compared to SLS. This makes it an excellent choice for personal care products where skin and eye irritation must be minimized. When aiming for a gentle foaming agent effect, SLES 70% is an ideal primary surfactant to build upon. Its anionic surfactant properties are a foundational element for effective cleansing.
For optimal results in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps, SLES 70% can be used as the primary surfactant. Its excellent lathering capabilities contribute to the user's perception of cleanliness. To further enhance mildness or achieve specific textural properties, SLES can be combined with co-surfactants like Cocamidopropyl Betaine (CAPB) or Decyl Glucoside. These combinations can create synergistic effects, improving foam quality, viscosity, and overall skin compatibility. The SLES 70% concentration is a good starting point for many rinse-off applications.
In household and industrial cleaning products, SLES 70% is valued for its strong degreasing power. When formulating dishwashing liquids or industrial degreasers, its emulsification properties are key to breaking down tough grease and grime. Adjusting the concentration of SLES can fine-tune the cleaning efficacy and foaming profile as needed for specific applications. The stability of SLES in various pH ranges and its compatibility with other ingredients make it a robust choice for complex formulations.
NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. offers SLES 70% at a competitive SLES price, making it accessible for formulators looking for both performance and value. Additionally, its status as a biodegradable surfactant aligns with the growing demand for sustainable ingredients. When you decide to buy SLES, consider NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO., LTD. as your trusted partner. Our commitment to quality ensures that you receive a consistent and high-performing ingredient.
