MIPA-Laureth Sulfate description
MIPA-laureth sulfate is a gentle cleansing agent/surfactant. It is a popular ingredient choice when cosmetic chemists are looking to formulate transparent oil-based body washes or facial cleansing oils. It is also used in other types of skin care products, including creams and serums. MIPA-laureth sulfate is often combined with propylene glycol—this duo is noted for its excellent lathering action and can be used in waterless formulas (including water-free shampoo concentrates). A note on sulfates: While many brands make “sulfate-free” claims insinuating that sulfates as entire category are bad for your skin/hair/health, research has not shown that to be true. See related ingredient sulfates for the in-depth explanation.
