Personal Care
AOS, SLES at 70% and SLS are usually found in personal cleansing products, including shampoos, body washes, hand washes and facial cleansers; they aid in the removal of oils and other residues, improve wetting and emulsification, and add to the foam and cleansing sensation of the final product.
Shampoos
Shampoos often contain surfactants such as AOS, SLES, or SLS due to their capacity to remove oil and dirt from the hair and scalp and because they produce a good lather during washing.
Body Washes/Shower Gels
Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOS) and Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES) are both suitable for body wash formulas and provide cleansing, wetting, and foaming properties. Other surfactants can be added to adjust the foam, viscosity, or cleaning strength of the final product.
Hand Washes
SLES and AOS are commonly used in liquid hand washes for cleansing and foam. They can be combined with other surfactants and thickeners to adjust the consistency and foaming of the product.
Facial Cleansers
AOS are generally used in facial cleansers as they feature good cleansing, wetting, and foaming properties. The amount used and the ingredient combination should be adjusted according to the final product and the grade of raw material.
