Can Sodium Lauryl Sulphate Be Used Safely In Our Products?

Sodium Lauryl Sulphate, an anionic surfactant

, is crystalline solid and faint odor of fatty substances. This organic compound is extensively used as a cleansing agent in cosmetics and industrial chemicals. Because of the widespread use of this compound, several studies have been conducted to determine whether Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is safe enough to be used in several products. It was found that Sodium Lauryl Sulphate exhibits protein denaturing properties and eventually has an adverse effect on the cell membranes.

The chemical and physical properties of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate can be attributed to the constituents that form it and the method of preparation. Sulfation of lauryl alcohol with either sulfur trioxide or chlorosulfonic acid yields Sodium Lauryl Sulphate. The resultant product is neutralized with aqueous sodium hydroxide.

Although, Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is moderately toxic in nature and can cause skin irritation it can be safely used in smart combinations in our various products. This compound is widely used in cosmetics, detergents, mouthwashes, toothpastes, hair care products, pharmaceuticals, etc. The importance of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate is because it is a very good emulsifier. In the solution it suspends the oil or grease particles to facilitate cleaning along with lathering.

Since several studies harp on the negative impacts of Sodium Lauryl Sulphate , it becomes very important for the manufacturers of such a chemical to stick to the industrial regulations in the entire process. The composition and quality control measures should be very specifically taken care of so as to ensure that the products that contain a chemical like Sodium Lauryl Sulphate remain safe for general use. Even the manufacturers that use this compound in their products should take up the responsibility. Only a permissible amount of this chemical should be used in the products to make sure that the ill effects do not get magnified.

If the manufacturers of the products containing Sodium Lauryl Sulphate understand their duty and the potential hazards of this chemical then certainly there can be a solution. A balance can be achieved between use and aftereffects. Alpha Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. is one such company that recognizes the importance of quality for Industrial Organic Chemicals.
