About Potassium Lauryl Sulfate
Potassium Lauryl Sulfate is the potassium salt of lauryl sulfate.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary depending on the components forming the salt and the formulation's acidity, which can also affect how it interacts with other raw materials. In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsions in which water and oil are evenly mixed and to lower surface tension so raw materials wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
