Extracting SLS from Soap?
« on: February 03, 2024, 09:43:48 AM »
I have a bottle of Old Spice body wash and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) is the second ingredient on the label, behind water. I was curious about what methods I should try to extract the SLS from the soap, or at the very least filter out some of the other ingredients to make it somewhat more pure. I have been researching for quite a while but haven't been able to find anything online that can help.

Probably much easier/cheaper to buy it than to attempt to purify.

Sodium Lauryl Sulfate is also known as sodium dodecyl sulfate.  I agree that buying it will be easier.
