TEA-Lauryl Sulfate

TEA-Lauryl Sulfate is an anionic surfactant formed by neutralizing lauryl sulfate with triethanolamine (TEA). It appears as a viscous liquid and is widely used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and other personal care products. Known for its excellent foaming, emulsifying, and cleansing properties, it is a cost-effective and versatile surfactant. It also offers better solubility and mildness compared to sodium lauryl sulfate.
