Triethanolamine lauryl sulfate is an anionic surfactant that serves as a mild cleansing agent, primarily utilized in personal care formulations. This compound is notable for its ability to create stable foams and emulsions, making it a popular choice in the cosmetic and personal care industries. Its mildness makes it suitable for sensitive skin applications, and it is often found in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers. The compound is derived from lauryl alcohol and triethanolamine, combining the properties of both to enhance cleansing efficacy while minimizing irritation.

Also known as Lauryl triethanolamine sulfate.

Product Form
Substance

Triethanolamine lauryl sulfate appears as a pale yellow viscous liquid. It has a density of approximately 1.1 g/cm³ and is soluble in water, allowing for easy incorporation into aqueous formulations. The compound has a boiling point of around 100°C (212°F) at standard atmospheric pressure, and it exhibits a pH value in the range of 6 to 8 when dissolved in water. Its viscosity is typically around 2000-3000 cP at 25°C, which contributes to its thickening properties in formulations.
