APPLICATIONS
Sulfonic acid is a compound with general formula RSO2OH, where R is an aliphatic or aromatic hydrocarbon. It is a derivative of sulfuric acid (HOSO2OH) where an OH has been replaced by a carbon group or a compound where a hydrogen atom has been replaced by treatment with sulfuric acid; for example, benzene is converted to benzenesulfonic acid (water-soluble). Sulfonic acid has a sulfur atom bonded to a carbon atom of a hydrocarbon and bonded also to three oxygen atoms, one of which has been attached to a hydrogen atom. Sulfonic acid is acidic due to the hydrogen atom, stronger than a carboxylic acid. Sulfonic acid is one of the most important organo sulfur compounds in organic synthesis. Sulfonic acids are used as catalysts in esterification, alkylation and condensation reactions. Sulfonates are salts or esters of sulfonic acid. Sulfonic salts are soluble in water. Sulfonic acid and its salts present in organic dyes provide useful function of water solubility and or improve the washfastness of dyes due to their capabiltity of binding more tightly to the fabric. They are widely used in the detergent industry. Alkylbenzene sulfonic acid is the largest-volume synthetic surfactant because of its relatively low cost, good performance, the fact that it can be dried to a stable powder and the biodegradable environmental friendliness. Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), prepared by sulfation of lauryl alcohol and neutralisation with sodium carbonate, is another common surfactant which has an amphiphilic properties due to C12 chain ( lipophilic) attached to a sulfate group (hydrophilic). This bifunctionality in one molecule provides the basic properties useful in cleaners and detergents. SLS is used as a wetting agent in textiles, foaming and cleaning agent in detergent, cosmetic emulsifier, and sometimes in toothpastes. Sulfonate cleaners do not form an insoluble precipitates in hard water. Ammonium lauryl sulfate (ALS) is a structurally related compound, replacing ammonium group for sodium. They have same applications. But they cause skin and eye irritation, and are therefore not useful in in products that are on the skin for a long time. The ethoxylated SLS and ALS are less irritant on the skin; sodium laureth sulfate (sodium lauryl ether sulfate, SLES) and ammonium laureth sulfate (ammonium lauryl ether sulfate, ALES) which are prepared by addition of ethylene oxide. SLES and ALES are used as a foaming and viscosity builder in shampoos and personal care products (such as bubble bath, shaving cream , ointment, and tooth pastes sometimes) particularly of low pH products. One more common feature of them appears to be the compatibility with other surfactants.

What Does Ammonium Laureth Sulfate Do In Skincare And Haircare Products?
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate is a cleansing agent.
(P.S. If it has Laureth Sulfate or Lauryl Sulfate in the name, it’s almost always a cleansing agent).
Ever tried washing a greasy pan with water alone? It won’t do. The grease stubbornly sticks to the pan, no matter how much you scrub it. Why?
Oil and water don’t mix. Just pour some oil into a glass of water and you’ll see it neatly stays on top. It doesn’t melt into the water at all.
Excess sebum is essentially oil. Your skincare and makeup products contain oil. You need to cleanse them off your face (and the rest of your body)

What Does Ammonium Laureth Sulfate Do In Skincare And Haircare Products?
Ammonium Laureth Sulfate is a cleansing agent.
(P.S. If it has Laureth Sulfate or Lauryl Sulfate in the name, it’s almost always a cleansing agent).
Ever tried washing a greasy pan with water alone? It won’t do. The grease stubbornly sticks to the pan, no matter how much you scrub it. Why?

Excess sebum is essentially oil. Your skincare and makeup products contain oil. You need to cleanse them off your face (and the rest of your body). But how?!
Does Ammonium Laureth Sulfate Has Any Side Effects?
Here’s the deal: all surfactants have the potential to be drying. They have to be. They literally remove oils and dirt from your skin. If they were too gentle, they wouldn’t be able to take off anything!
FYI, this is why it’s SO hard to find a sulfate-free shampoo that actually cleans oily hair. They’re too gentle and can’t remove anything unless you use the whole bottle (which totally defeats the purpose).
But you don’t want to use anything that’s even a little more drying than it needs to be. As a rule of thumb, surfactants with laurYL in the name ARE too harsh. Avoid them.
But what about those that have laurETH in the name, like Ammonium Laureth Sulfate? They’re in the perfect spot. They’re powerful enough to cleanse skin AND gentle enough not to dry it out and irritate it. Win win.
Sure, if you have very sensitive skin, there’s always the potential Ammonium Laureth Sulfate is too drying for you. But for 90% of people, it’s totally safe.
We often buy shampoo without really knowing what’s in it.
We may have been seduced into said purchase because of an attractive price, an online ad or a recommendation from a friend. Or – and let’s be honest here – simply because we liked the design and colour of the bottle.
It can be very disappointing to discover that, after a few times of using it, our hair does not feel its usual, silky self. We notice a crispiness, lesser defined curls, perhaps even damage.
Naturally, this will get us thinking about our choice of shampoo and whether it’s really the right fit for our hair or not.
Upon studying the ingredients listed on the bottle and trying to figure out how beneficial or harmful they can be to our curly hair, we are faced with many terms we are completely unfamiliar with.
Among them, we have several types of sulfates, the different types of which can be just as difficult to identify.
One of these sulfates is the ammonium laureth sulfate.
You have probably used several products containing this sulfate; it is common in all types of beauty and cosmetic goods including shampoos, but also toothpaste, body gels and soaps. It is a widely used ingredient in these kinds of products, not only because of its cleansing properties but also because it is very economical.
There is a lot of speculation about this particular sulfate and its effects on our hair, with many sources advocating for its use and many others warning us against it. In this article, we’ll get to the bottom of this common shampoo ingredient and its characteristics.
Ammonium Lauryl Ether Sulfate is also known as Ammonium Diethylene glycol and in its physical state is a clear to yellow liquid. AmmoniumLauryl Ether Sulfate for lawns is marketed as a liquid aerator to loosen compacted soil. It results in better root growth and greater crop yields. The compound does have emulsifying properties that causes it to bind to and dissolve dirt and oil in the hair. It is often used in less expensive shampoos to increase lather, but is also suspected of causing hair loss due to its harshness on hair follicles and irritation to skin. Ammonium Lauryl Ether Sulfate MSDS cautions that the compound may cause moderate irritation to the eyes, the skin, and the respiratory system. When in direct contact with high concentrations of the compound, personal protective equipment such chemical goggles and impervious gloves should be worn. Chemical Formula - RO(CH2CH2O)3SO3NH4

Precautions
Under the circumstance of high temperature (above 40 degrees centigrade) or acidic
condition (ph ≤5), it will be decomposed. Which is due to hydrolysis caused by ALES.
Considering this situation, the product should be stored under the circumstance of lower
than 40 degrees centigrade. In its PH ranges, ALES is especially suitable for propagation of
microorganism. During sampling or application, attention shall be taken to prevent
microorganism contamination. Try to carry out the work under germless conditions.

Toxicity Profile
Route of Exposure Oral (3) ; inhalation (3) ; dermal (5)
Mechanism of Toxicity While ammonium laureth sulfate itself is not toxic, it is a nitrosating agent. Nitrosating agents may decompose and/or react to cause nitrosamine contamination. Nitrosamines are produced from secondary amines and amides in the presence of nitrite ions and are believed to be carcinogenic. Once in the body, nitrosamines are activated by cytochrome P-450 enzymes. They are then believed to induce their carcinogenic effects by forming DNA adducts at the N- and O-atoms. (5, 6, 1, 2, 3)
Metabolism Nitrosamines can enter the body via ingestion, inhalation, or dermal contact. Once in the body, nitrosamines are metabolized by cytochrome P-450 enzymes, which essentially activates them into carcinogens. (1, 2)
Toxicity Values Not Available
Lethal Dose Not Available
Carcinogenicity (IARC Classification) Not listed by IARC. Certain nitrosamines are classified by IARC as either probably or possibly carcinogenic to humans (Groups 2A and 2B, respectively). (7)
Uses/Sources Ammonium laureth sulfate is a surfactant often found in shampoos. (4)
Minimum Risk Level Not Available
Health Effects Ammonium laureth sulfate itself only causes mild irritation. However, it may react to produce nitrosamines, which are believed to be carcinogenic. (4, 6)
