About Sodium Laureth-8 Sulfate

Sodium Laureth-8 Sulfate is the sodium salt of the sulfate ester of the polyethylene glycol ether of lauryl alcohol.[1] The number 8 at the end of the name indicates the average number of added ethylene oxide units. It changes the balance between the water-affinitive and fat-affinitive portions, leading to differences in cleansing power, emulsifying ability, and skin feel. In cosmetics, it is used to help sebum and impurities wash away with water, form lather during use, and lower surface tension so ingredients can wet, mix, and spread evenly.[2]
