About Sodium Ethylhexyl Sulfate

Sodium Ethylhexyl Sulfate is the sodium salt of 2-ethylhexyl sulfate.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to create emulsified formulas in which water and oil are evenly mixed, help ingredients that do not dissolve well in water disperse more evenly in the water phase, and lower surface tension so raw materials can wet, mix, and disperse evenly.[2]
