Description:

odium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is one of the most common anionic surfactants used globally in personal care and cleaning products. It is renowned for its powerful cleansing properties and excellent ability to produce a rich, stable, and copious lather, even in the presence of oils and in hard water. It is typically supplied as a viscous, clear to pale yellow aqueous solution, with a concentration of approximately 70% active matter being a standard industrial grade, alongside other common concentrations like 28%.

Uses:

It serves as a primary, cost-effective foaming and cleansing agent in a vast array of rinse-off formulations.

· Hair Care: The foundational surfactant in most shampoos, bath gels, and cleansing conditioners. It effectively removes dirt, sebum, and styling product buildup from hair and scalp.

· Skin Care: Extensively used in facial cleansers, shower gels, body washes, hand soaps, and shaving foams for its efficient oil-removing and foaming properties.

· Other Uses: A key ingredient in toothpastes (as a foaming agent) and many household cleaning products like dishwashing liquids and all-purpose cleaners.

Origin:

Sodium Laureth Sulfate is a semi-synthetic ingredient. It is manufactured through a chemical process that starts with lauryl alcohol (which can be derived from coconut or palm kernel oil). This alcohol undergoes ethoxylation (reaction with ethylene oxide) to form laureth alcohol, which is then sulfated (typically with sulfur trioxide) and neutralized with sodium hydroxide to form the final product.

What does SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE  do in a formulation?

Its core functions are:

  • CLEANSING
  • FOAMING
  • SURFACTANT
  • Emulsifying

Safety Profile:

Assessment: It is widely regarded as safe for use in rinse-off products at common use concentrations. The ethoxylation process makes it significantly milder and less irritating than its non-ethoxylated counterpart, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS). It is also considered non-comedogenic.

· Potential Concerns: As a detergent, it can cause skin dryness or irritation, especially for individuals with sensitive, dry, or eczema-prone skin if used at high concentrations or too frequently. It is not intended for leave-on products.

· Important Note on Impurities: The ethoxylation manufacturing process can leave trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane (a potential human carcinogen) as a by-product. Cosmetic-grade SLES is subject to strict purification (vacuum stripping) to reduce this contaminant to levels considered safe (typically below 10 ppm), as mandated by regulatory bodies.

Chem/IUPAC Name: 

Poly (oxy-1,2-ethanediyl). alpha. -hydro-. omega. -hydroxy

 

Description:

Polyethylene Glycols are polymers of ethylene glycol. In addition to being named based on the number of units of ethylene glycol, they may also be named based on the molecular weight of the compound. For example, PEG-400 is also known as Polyethylene Glycol 400, where 400 represents the average molecular weight of the compound. It is a viscous liquid that is clear and colorless. It works as a binding, emulsion stabilizing agent, and solvent in cosmetics and personal care products.

 

Uses:

PEG-400 in personal care: It serves as the base for skin creams and lotions and acts as a solubilizer in creams, lotions, and bath gels. It also works as a binder, solvent, and an emulsion stabilizer.

It functions as a solvent and viscosity modifier in soaps. PEG-400 esters are frequently employed as surfactants.

Because many PEG types are hydrophilic, they are favorably used as enhancers of penetration, and used heavily in topical dermatological preparations. PEGs, along with their many nonionic derivatives, are widely utilized in cosmetic products as surfactants, emulsifiers, cleansing agents, humectants, and skin conditioners.

Origin:

Although PEG-400 is typically made from petroleum, it can also be produced using waste materials left over from the production of sugar cane.

What does PEG-400 do in a formulation?

  • Binding
  • Emulsion stabilising
  • Solvent

 

Safety Profile:

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has evaluated the safety of triethylene glycol and other polyethylene glycols. Triethylene Glycol and polyethylene glycol ingredients were found to be safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products after the CIR Expert Panel reviewed the scientific evidence. In general, the polyethylene glycol (PEG) ingredients have a low order of oral and dermal toxicity, according to the CIR Expert Panel. Higher molecular weight PEGs (PEG-75 and greater) were not absorbed through intact skin, while lower molecular weight PEG ingredients were only minimally absorbed. The PEGs did not sensitise skin and only slightly irritated it. The information at hand suggested that PEGs were neither mutagenic nor carcinogenic.

The polyethylene glycol ingredients may contain trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane, a by-product of ethoxylation. This substance may be present, but its presence can be controlled by taking the necessary purification steps before combining it with other ingredients to create cosmetic formulations.
