Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), also widely known as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), is a highly utilized chemical ingredient, and understanding its safety and regulatory landscape is crucial for manufacturers. At NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD., we are committed to providing SDS that meets stringent quality and safety standards.

Generally, SDS is considered safe for use in consumer products when formulated appropriately and within recommended concentration limits. Regulatory bodies worldwide have established guidelines for its application, particularly in personal care products and food items. For leave-on skin products, concentrations are typically advised not to exceed 1% to minimize potential irritation.


While SDS is an effective detergent and foaming agent, it can cause skin and eye irritation in sensitive individuals or at higher concentrations. This is primarily due to its ability to strip natural oils from the skin. Therefore, formulators must carefully consider the product type, duration of contact, and intended use when incorporating SDS. As a manufacturer in China, we ensure our SDS is produced under controlled conditions to maintain purity.


In laboratory applications, such as SDS-PAGE, the concentrations used are typically higher to achieve effective protein denaturation. However, these are controlled laboratory environments where appropriate safety protocols are followed. When you buy SDS for industrial or research purposes, it's important to adhere to material safety data sheets (MSDS) and recommended handling procedures.


NINGBO INNO PHARMCHEM CO.,LTD. provides comprehensive documentation and support to help clients understand the safe and effective use of our SDS. We prioritize product quality and compliance, ensuring that our customers can confidently incorporate SDS into their products. Discussing the price and bulk availability can also be part of ensuring compliance and cost-effectiveness in your procurement strategy.
