Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a strong anionic surfactant commonly used in a wide range of personal care, cleaning, and industrial products. It is derived from lauryl alcohol and is known for its ability to create a rich lather and effectively remove oils, dirt, and impurities. SLS is widely used in shampoos, body washes, toothpastes, facial cleansers, and detergents due to its foaming properties and effectiveness in cleansing. While it is highly effective as a surfactant, it can be irritating to sensitive skin when used in high concentrations.
