Triethanolamine Lauryl Sulfate 40%
(PADAPON-TL40)
Triethanolamine Lauryl Sulfate is an anionic surfactant from the sulfated fatty alcohol group with a high HLB value of
34.
This compound has mild cleansing properties due to its neutralization with triethanolamine and is used in the formulation of
body and hair shampoos.
Sulfate provides cleansing, foaming and moisturizing properties to cosmetic formulations.
Compared to ammonium or sodium lauryl sulfates, TEA-Lauryl Sulfate is less corrosive to metal packaging materials and is “less sensitive to salt viscosity reaction.

Environmental Considerations and Sensitization

Undiluted shampoos containing 10.5% TEA-Lauryl Sulfate showed a low potential to cause human skin sensitization. No evidence of photosensitization was observed in subjects exposed to solutions containing up to 0.42% TEA-Lauryl Sulfate. Based on available animal and human data, it can be concluded that TEA-Lauryl Sulfate can be used without significant irritation at final concentrations not exceeding 10.5%.
Higher concentrations may cause irritation, especially if allowed to remain in contact with the skin for a significant period of time.
