Anionic Surfactants

Based on 1377 products - Last update on the Jun 26, 2025

Anionic surfactants are clear or slightly viscous liquids. Their key features include rich lather, strong cleansing power, and excellent rinseability, making them ideal for shampoos, body washes, and deep-cleansing facial cleansers. 

Popular INCI ingredients in this segment include Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), and Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate. The trend towards sulfate-free cleansers has led to the development of milder anionic alternatives. Regulatory discussions often center around potential irritation concerns.
