Expert Verdict
As a PEG-ether sulfate, potential for trace 1,4-dioxane contamination from ethoxylation; mild irritation potential in sensitive individuals, though generally milder than non-ethoxylated sulfates. Ethoxylated anionic surfactant with 8 ethylene oxide units; synthetic/plant origin; the ethoxylation chain improves mildness compared to lauryl sulfate equivalents
