Sodium Laureth Carboxylate is an anionic surfactant known for its exceptional mildness and "crypto-anionic" behavior. It is typically supplied as a 60-70% active aqueous solution.
Unlike standard sulfates, it is highly stable at a wide pH range and exhibits excellent tolerance to hard water. This Cosmetic Grade surfactant provides a creamy lather and reduces the irritation potential of other surfactants.
It acts as an effective emulsifier and dispersing agent in both personal care and industrial formulations. It is preferred for "low-irritation" products like baby shampoos and intimate washes.
