Sodium Laureth Sulfate in Tanzania and Kenya – System Star Industrial Products
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES) is a widely used anionic surfactant known for its exceptional foaming, wetting, and emulsifying properties. It is a key raw material in shampoos, body washes, liquid soaps, dishwashing liquids, and household detergents.
