Frequently Asked Questions

How do I dilute SLES 70% for a shampoo?

To achieve 10% active SLES in a shampoo, use approximately 14.3% of the 70% concentrate. Always add SLES to water (not water to SLES) to avoid excessive foaming during mixing.

What is the difference between SLES and SLS?

SLES (Sodium Laureth Sulfate) is ethoxylated, making it milder and less irritating than SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate). SLES is preferred in most modern personal care formulations.

Can SLES be used in sulfate-free products?

No. SLES is a sulfate surfactant. For sulfate-free formulations, consider SCI 85% (HY SCI) or CAPB as alternatives.

What is the ideal usage ratio of SLES to CAPB?

A typical ratio is 2:1 to 3:1 (SLES:CAPB active). For example, 10–12% active SLES with 3–6% active CAPB gives a balanced, mild shampoo system.

What pH should a SLES-based shampoo be?

Adjust final formulation pH to 5.0–6.5 for optimal scalp compatibility and surfactant performance.
