Description
Sodium laureth sulfate is a surface-active substance that is added to some cosmetic products, usually as a cleanser or foaming agent. The main reasons for including sodium laureth sulfate in cosmetics include: 1. Cleaning: It is an effective cleanser that helps remove dirt, excess oil, and makeup from the surface of the skin or hair. It is used in shampoos, shower gels, cleansing milks, and other cosmetics to create foam and effective cleansing. 2. Foaming: It has the ability to create foam that helps provide a light and comfortable application of cosmetic products. The foam helps distribute the product evenly on the skin or hair, ensuring effective cleansing or care. It is worth noting that some people may be sensitive to sulfates and may feel dryness, irritation, or increased sensitivity after using products with sodium laureth sulfate.
