Difference Between Sodium Laureth Sulfate And Sodium Lauryl Sulfate

Sodium laureth ether sulfate  (SLS) and sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) are surfactants that play a role in foaming products. It is widely believed that the foam produced by a product is its performance. The composition of SLS and SLES reduces the surface tension of water. They can also be used as dispersants to properly mix spices and body spray. SLS and SLES can also be used in a variety of personal care products such as soap, shampoo, shower gel, toothpaste and other foaming products. SLS and SLES are also added to moisturizing lotions and sunscreens because of these properties. The difference between SLS and SLES is in the manufacturing process. SLS undergo a process called ethoxylation. And then you get SLES. Why do we have this ethoxylation process? Because SLS has some mild irritation on the skin, such as dry. The manufactured SLES are more gentle and do not irritate the skin. Many manufacturers do not use SLS because it is irritating. SLES should be softer on sk

Cocamidopropyl Betaine In Skin Care

Coconut oil aminopropyl betaine(CAPB)can be extracted from coconut oil and dimethylaminopropylamine. CAPB is a surfactant. It can be added to personal care products or used in bath products such as shampoo and soap for washing hands. It's also an organic compound. And you can see from its name that the main part of its molecule, the lauric acid group, comes from coconut oil. CAPB is a medium-strength surfactant that can also be used in cosmetics and has an emulsifying and thickening effect. It can also be used as an antistatic agent in hair toners that do not irritate the skin or mucous membranes. It is also added to personal hygiene products as a preservative. Lipophilic, lipophilic and hydrophilic properties are chemical properties of surfactants, so surfactants can remove dirt and oil from the skin. Surfactants can reduce the surface tension of water, making it easier to wet, thus removing oil and dirt from the skin. So it's also a detergent Some surfactants are ver
