Let’s continue our look at foamy, bubbly, lathery™ surfactants in this post as we look at sodium C14-16 Olefin Sulfonate, SLSA, and sodium trideceth sulfate (STS) – awesome surfactants we can use in so many products! An important note about this series – it’s here for life. It isn’t going anywhere. If you want to...

Welcome back to our introduction to cosmetic chemistry series, Chemistry Thursday. We started looking at foamy, bubbly, lathery™ surfactants two weeks ago, and we’re having so much fun, let’s learn more about them today! An important note about this series – it’s here for life. It isn’t going anywhere. If you want to take a...
