Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ammonium salt of lauryl sulfuric acid) is an anionic surfactant, available on the market for a few years in the totally natural version, in fact it is a derivative of coconut oil processing. It comes in the form of a viscous liquid, soluble in water.
It is used as a primary surfactant in detergent products (shower gel, liquid detergents and especially hair products), this is because it has excellent foaming and detergent capabilities.
One of its important features is the ease of rinsing.
It should not be confused with the analogous "Ammonium laureth sulfate", a synthetic version with the addition of ethylene oxide and often prepared with components of petroleum origin.
The use of a good formula with Ammonium Lauryl sulfate produces a totally vegetable product, with the performance of a normal professional synthetic product, both in terms of the foam produced and in terms of the final effects obtained.
