AMMONIUM LAURYL SULFATE Specification
- Other Names
- Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
- Chemical Name
- Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate
- Usage
- In cosmetic and personal care formulations, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is typically used at 5% to 30% active matter, depending on the product type and formulation objectives. In shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and liquid soaps, usage levels generally range from 5 20% active surfactant. In bubble baths and high-foaming cleansing products, concentrations of 10 30% may be used. ALS is often combined with amphoteric surfactants such as Cocamidopropyl Betaine and conditioning agents to improve mildness and overall performance. The exact usage level should be determined based on the desired cleansing efficiency, foam characteristics, viscosity, and formulation requirements.

About AMMONIUM LAURYL SULFATE
Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate is an anionic surfactant widely used in cosmetic and personal care formulations for its excellent cleansing, foaming, and detergency properties. It is the ammonium salt of lauryl sulfate and is typically supplied as a clear to slightly hazy liquid. Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate effectively removes dirt, oil, sebum, and impurities from the skin and hair while producing a rich, abundant foam that enhances the cleansing experience. It is commonly used in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, bubble baths, liquid soaps, and other rinse-off personal care products. ALS offers good compatibility with amphoteric and nonionic surfactants, allowing formulators to optimize foam quality, viscosity, and mildness. The ingredient performs well across a broad pH range and contributes to product stability and consumer appeal. Due to its strong cleansing efficiency and cost-effectiveness, Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate remains a popular surfactant in many cleansing formulations, particularly where rich lather and effective soil removal are desired.
