π‘ Formulator's Tip
Typical usage levels vary depending on the product, but SLS is commonly used at approximately 5β30% in finished formulations. For improved viscosity, foam stability, and overall performance, SLS is often formulated with SLES, Cocamide DEA, CMC, STPP, Sodium Chloride, preservatives, fragrances, and colourants. Always optimize your formulation through compatibility, stability, and performance testing before commercial production.
