Match the Product to the Surfactant
Making industrial cleaners, degreasers?
→ Use SLS. Strong and cheap.
Making shampoo or body wash?
→ Use SLES (3EO). Balanced and proven.
Making dishwashing liquid for hard water areas?
→ Add AOS to your formula.
Doing laboratory research?
→ Use SDS. High purity required.
Need performance in cold conditions?
→ Consider LDS or other specialty salts.
The Art of Blending
Here’s a secret from 30 years of experience.
Single surfactants are rarely the answer.
The magic happens when you blend.
Classic combo for dishwashing liquid:
SLES (70%) + AOS (20%) + CMEA (10%)
Result: Good foam, works in hard water, thickens properly.
Classic combo for mild shampoo:
SLES (50%) + CAB (30%) + AESA (20%)
Result: Gentle on scalp, rich lather, premium feel.
Price vs. Performance
Every business decision comes down to this.
If budget is tight:
Build around SLES. It’s the workhorse.
Add small amounts of specialty surfactants only where needed.
If you’re targeting premium market:
Invest in milder surfactants.
Customers pay more for “gentle” and “natural feeling.”
If you’re in B2B industrial supply:
SLS is your friend. Cost matters most.
Performance is usually good enough.
Final Advice from an Old Engineer
After 30 years, here’s what I know:
- There’s no perfect surfactant. Each has strengths and weaknesses.
- Know your customer. What do they really need? Cheap price? Mild feel? Foam in hard water?
- Test, test, test. Small batches first. Adjust the formula. Then scale up.
- Build relationships with suppliers. A good supplier tells you the truth. A bad supplier just wants your money.
- Keep learning. The industry changes. New products appear. Regulations update. Stay curious.
