Exploring the chemical class of Surfactant and how they function within formulations.

Clear
Surfactant

Ammonium Laureth Sulfate

A milder, large-molecule alternative to SLS that provides robust cleansing power with significantly lower barrier-breaching potential cleanly.

Surfactant

Ammonium Lauryl Sulfate

Powerful anionic surfactant that creates copious foam but carries a significant risk of epidermal lipid barrier stripping if not heavily buffered safely.

Surfactant

Isoceteth-20

Emulsifier (causes foaming).

Surfactant

Polyglyceryl-4 Isostearate

Emulsifier.
