Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is an anionic surfactant used in many personal care and cosmetic products. It is a white or creamy crystalline substance with good foaming, cleansing, and emulsifying qualities. SLS is effective in the formation of rich and stable lathers and in the removal of dirt, oil, and other particles.
