Frequently Asked Questions
What is this sodium lauroamphodiacetate / sodium lauryl sulfate / hexylene glycol blend used for?
It is a cleansing surfactant base (CAS 68650-39-5 referenced) combining amphoteric sodium lauroamphodiacetate, anionic sodium lauryl sulfate, and hexylene glycol, used as a ready-to-use cleansing concentrate for shampoos and body washes. RawSource supplies it as a formulation base to personal-care manufacturers.
Why combine an amphoteric and an anionic surfactant in one base?
Pairing amphoteric sodium lauroamphodiacetate with anionic sodium lauryl sulfate balances foam, cleansing strength, and mildness better than either alone, while hexylene glycol acts as a solvent/coupling agent and viscosity aid. This gives formulators a ready-to-use concentrate. Request the technical data sheet for the component ratios.
What does hexylene glycol do in this blend?
Hexylene glycol functions as a solvent and coupling/humectant agent that improves clarity, controls viscosity, and aids ingredient compatibility in the surfactant base. It is a formulation aid rather than a primary cleansing surfactant. See the SDS for handling details.
Is the SLS in this blend the same as the sulfate people compare to SLES?
Yes — the anionic component here is sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), the non-ethoxylated sulfate, distinct from ethoxylated sodium laureth sulfate (SLES). Confirm the full INCI breakdown on your specification so you order the intended blend.
How is this surfactant base packaged and quoted?
It is supplied as an aqueous concentrate in drums, IBCs/totes, or bulk. Provide your required quantity and active level to receive a bulk quote with a Certificate of Analysis and SDS.
