SLES

SLES stands for Sodium Laureth Sulfate (sometimes written as Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate). It is a synthetic anionic surfactant and detergent found in many personal care products (soaps, shampoos, toothpaste, etc.) and cleaning products. SLES is very similar to SLS (Sodium Lauryl Sulfate), but SLES is considered milder.
