Glossary Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate

synthetic detergent and surfactant used in shampoos and cleaning products

Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS), also known as Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS), is a synthetic detergent and surfactant commonly used in cleaning products, shampoos, and toothpaste. It works by lowering the surface tension of water, allowing it to more effectively remove oils and dirt. In scientific research, SDS is also used in protein denaturation during SDS-PAGE, a technique for separating proteins based on their molecular weight.

community It's always the Mice that gets to grow back hair.

434 upvotes 10 months ago

Sodium dodecyl sulfate, oleic acid, and palmitoleic acid may promote hair growth, but their safety and effectiveness for humans are uncertain. Users consider trying these treatments cautiously, exploring alternatives like ostrich oil and microneedling.

community Help needed with finding an alternative to my dermatologist's recommendation ( shampoo and conditioner)

8 years ago

A user is seeking alternatives to **Curatio Triclenz Hair Cleanser** and **Triflow Hair Conditioner** due to issues with hair weight and scalp pimples. They need recommendations for mild shampoos available in Europe, preferably Sweden.

community Has anybody heard of this new cure?
