Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a widely used anionic surfactant found in cleaning products, cosmetics, and personal care items.
Production: SLS is synthesized by reacting lauryl alcohol, derived from coconut or palm oil, with sulfuric acid to form a sulfate ester. This ester is then neutralized with sodium hydroxide to produce Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
Properties and Uses: Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is a highly effective anionic surfactant known for its ability to remove oily stains and residues. It is widely used in industrial products such as engine degreasers, floor cleaners, and car wash formulations.
In household and personal care products, SLS is used at lower concentrations in items like cleaning agents, toothpaste, shampoos, and shaving foams.
SLS functions as a surfactant, foam enhancer, and thickening agent in many personal care and household products, improving both cleaning performance and product texture.
SLS is 100% derived from renewable natural sources such as Palm Kernel Oil and Coconut Oil.
Sodium Lauryl Sulfate SLS-94 Needles is from 100% Natural Tropical Vegetable Palm Kernel Oil and Coconut Oil origin and Kosher certified.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS-94) in needle form is a high-quality, solid anionic surfactant known for its excellent foaming and cleansing properties. It serves as a versatile base ingredient for formulating a wide range of foaming cleansers.
SLS is one of the most widely used primary surfactants in oral care, personal care, and home care products. In addition to its common use in toothpaste at lower concentrations, SLS is also found in shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps. Beyond personal care, SLS-94 Needles are used extensively in industrial applications, including the manufacture of floor cleaners, engine degreasers, and machine wash detergents, due to its powerful grease-cutting and soil removal capabilities.
