DLS is a Cosmetic Grade anionic surfactant renowned for its extreme mildness and superior foaming properties. It is an ideal sulfate-free alternative for sensitive skin and baby care formulations.

This clear liquid provides excellent detergency without stripping the skin’s natural oils. It features a large molecular size that prevents skin penetration, resulting in very low irritation potential.

As a high-performance surfactant, it acts as an effective hydrotrope and emulsifier in liquid soaps. It is compatible with other surfactants and helps to improve foam creaminess and stability in finished products.
