    surfactant that helps shampoos lather and cleanse hair

    Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) is a surfactant commonly used in shampoos and other personal care products to create lather and help cleanse the hair and skin by breaking down oils and dirt. It is an anionic detergent, meaning it carries a negative charge, which helps it bind to impurities and rinse them away effectively.
