What is another word for sodium lauryl sulfate?
Pronunciation: [sˈə͡ʊdi͡əm lˈɔːɹɪl sˈʌlfe͡ɪt] (IPA) 
Sodium lauryl sulfate is a common ingredient in many household products such as shampoo, toothpaste, and soap. Often abbreviated as SLS, it is known for its role in creating lather and helping to break up oils and dirt. There are several synonyms for sodium lauryl sulfate, including sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), lauryl sulfate sodium salt, and sodium laurilsulfate. Some companies have also developed alternatives to SLS, such as sodium laureth sulfate (SLES) and coco-glucoside, which are considered to be gentler on the skin and less likely to cause irritation. Despite this, sodium lauryl sulfate remains a widely used surfactant in many personal care and cleaning products.
