MYOC Sodium Lauryl Sulfate DIY surfactant 240 ml — cosmetic-grade high-foaming base for shampoos & body washes

MYOC Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (240 ml) is a cosmetic-grade surfactant designed to generate rich lather and reliable cleansing performance in DIY shampoos, body washes, and liquid soaps.

Whether you formulate at home or in a small-batch studio, this 240 ml supply of Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) offers a familiar, high-foaming base ingredient used across personal-care products. Supplied for cosmetic use, it mixes readily into water phases and pairs with other surfactants and thickeners to produce balanced textures, stable foam, and effective dirt-and-oil removal in rinse-off products. Read the usage guidelines and handling precautions to maintain safe, reproducible results.

How much SLS should I use in different DIY products?

Recommended concentrations vary by product type and skin contact time. Lower percentages are typical for facial cleansers, while shampoos and body washes usually need higher levels to achieve abundant foam and cleansing power.

• Facial cleansers: around 0.5%–5% to minimize irritation potential.
• Shampoos and body washes: commonly 5%–20% for thicker lather and rinseability.
• Liquid soaps and bubble baths: 10%–30% depending on desired foam and viscosity.
• When blending: start low, test pH and skin feel, then adjust upward as needed.

What is the easiest way to incorporate MYOC SLS into formulations?

This Sodium Lauryl Sulfate dissolves in the water phase; gentle heating and continuous mixing help it integrate evenly. It can be added during the heated water phase or into warm water with steady agitation to avoid clumping and to create a homogeneous base for the rest of your ingredients.

• Dissolve SLS slowly in the water phase while stirring consistently.
• Apply mild heat (if needed) to accelerate dissolution and prevent particle clusters.
• Combine with co-surfactants, thickeners, or salts to modify foam and viscosity.
• Adjust pH and test small batches before scaling up production.

Can MYOC SLS be used with other surfactants and thickeners?

Yes — this SLS works well as a primary or secondary surfactant and is commonly paired with milder surfactants to balance performance and skin feel. Adding thickeners or electrolytes will change viscosity and foam stability, so incremental testing is recommended.

• Blend with mild nonionic or amphoteric surfactants to reduce harshness.
• Add thickeners (e.g., salts, gums) gradually to reach desired consistency.
• Use chelators or buffers to maintain product stability over time.
• Perform patch and compatibility tests on finished formulas.

What safety and storage practices should I follow?

Handle MYOC Sodium Lauryl Sulfate with basic protective measures: avoid inhalation, skin contact with concentrated powder, and direct application to skin. Store the product sealed in a cool, dry place away from children and pets to preserve quality and safety.

• For external formulation use only; do not leave concentrated SLS on skin.
• Wear gloves, protective eyewear, and a dust mask when measuring the powder.
• Keep containers airtight and store in a cool, dry environment.
• Label batches clearly and keep out of reach of children.

Who this is for: MYOC Sodium Lauryl Sulfate 240 ml suits hobbyists, indie formulators, and small-batch artisans who need a dependable, high-foaming surfactant for rinse-off cosmetics. If you create shampoos, shower gels, liquid soaps, bubble baths, or foaming cleansers and want a versatile base surfactant to build from, this cosmetic-grade SLS is formulated to mix easily into water phases and to integrate with common co-surfactants and thickeners. Always run small trials, follow recommended usage ranges, and apply the listed safety precautions when handling and storing the material.
