About Sodium Decyl Sulfate

Sodium Decyl Sulfate is the sodium salt of decyl sulfonate.[1] Its solubility and charge state vary with the components forming the salt and the formula’s acidity, which also affects how it interacts with other ingredients. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water, increase the amount of foam and help it resist collapse, and reduce surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
