SODIUM TALLOW SULFATE.

Valuable CAS 8052-50-4 / 68140-10-3 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

Sodium Tallow Sulfate is a functional surfactant derived from tallow, adept at reducing surface tension to facilitate the mixing of oil and water. This property makes it an effective cleansing and emulsifying agent in various formulations.

Summary

Surfactant Cleansing Agent Emulsifying Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a surfactant, Sodium Tallow Sulfate actively lowers the interfacial tension between immiscible substances, such as oils and water. This action allows it to encapsulate and disperse dirt and sebum, making them readily removable from the skin and hair during rinsing. Furthermore, its emulsifying capabilities stabilize formulations by ensuring a uniform blend of components that would otherwise separate.
