Shampoos ammonium lauryl ether sulfate

The most common ingredient in shampoos is also the most common detergent in use in other products a class of surfactants known as straight-chain alkyl benzene sulfonates. Examples are ammonium lauryl sulfate, its sodium relative, and the slightly larger but related molecule ammonium lauryl ether sulfate (sometimes abbreviated as ammonium laureth sulfate). 

Shampoo compositions generally comprise one or more anionic cleansing surfactants, which are cosmetically acceptable and suitable for topical application to hair. Anionic surfactants (negatively charged molecules) provide a lot of lather and detergency in the shampoo. The most commonly used anionic surfactants are sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS), and ammonium lauryl ether sulfate (ALES), and sodium lauryl sulfate is also occasionally used. 

Shampoos. Ether sulfates are extensively used in shampoo formulations in the range of 15 to 25 percent active. The general product of choice is the lauryl-range alcohol with 1 to 3 moles of ethylene oxide. In shampoos, either sodium, ammonium, or triethanolamine salts of the ether sulfate can be used. The choice of these products will be primarily related to the solubility and the finished form of the shampoo. Triethanolamine salts are considerably more soluble and, thus, will be found in a large number...
