⭐ TEA Laureth Sulfate & Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate

TEA Laureth Sulfate (TEA-LAES)

TEA Laureth Sulfate is a versatile detergent, emulsifier, and foaming agent widely used in personal care and household cleaning formulations. As a primary or secondary surfactant, it is commonly applied in shampoos, hand washes, body cleansers, and facial cleansing products. TEA-LAES provides excellent viscosity-building ability, rich foam, and good skin compatibility, making it a preferred ingredient for mild cleansing formulations.

Key Features

• Produces dense, stable foam, ideal for hair and body care

• Good detergency with balanced mildness

• Excellent solubility in water and compatibility with other surfactants

• Helps create smooth, easy-to-rinse formulations

• Performs well in hard-water environments

• Lower irritation compared to traditional sulfate surfactants

Typical Applications

• Shampoos & hair cleansers

• Liquid hand soaps

• Facial cleansers and mild skin-washing products

• Household liquid detergents

• Hotel amenities & personal care formulations

Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate (DLS / DLSA)

Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate is a mild anionic surfactant widely used in the formulation of hand wash (gel & liquid), foaming facial cleansers, creamy cleansing foams, shaving foams, as well as mild body washes and pearlized shampoos. It produces fine, rich foam without greasy residue, and is easy to rinse off.

It features strong cleaning power but low degreasing intensity, making it a classic mild surfactant ideal for sensitive-skin formulations. It can be blended with other surfactants to reduce irritation, improve foam structure, and enhance product mildness.

Key Features

• Ultra-fine, luxurious foam with a smooth after-feel

• Low irritation, suitable for sensitive skin

• Strong detergency but mild lipid removal

• Excellent compatibility with amphoteric, anionic, and nonionic surfactants

• Helps reduce irritation of SLES, SLS, AOS, etc. when used in blends

• Superb rinseability and pleasant user experience

• Readily biodegradable and compliant with international eco-standards

Typical Applications

• Foaming facial cleansers & mousse cleansers

• Shaving creams and foam gels

• Mild body washes and baby-care products

• Pearlized shampoos & sulfate-free blends

• High-end personal-care cleansing formulations
