Potassium Lauryl Sulfate
Sulfate
Sulfates are strong cleansing agents (surfactants) used to cut through dirt, oil, and buildup. They’re what makes a cleanser foam up. The most common ones are SODIUM LAURYL SULFATE (SLS) and SODIUM LAURETH SULFATE (SLES). They work well, but they can be a little too good at stripping oils.
