Expert Verdict
Mild compared to SLES/SLS; potential for skin dryness at high concentrations; possible trace 1,4-dioxane from ethoxylation (must be stripped/controlled); rare contact sensitization.. MIPA salt of lauryl ether sulfate; synthetic/plant origin; high foaming power; often supplied as a water-free (anhydrous) base with propylene glycol for easier formulation (e.g., Sasol's MARLINAT 242/90 MC); gentle enough for daily use and sensitive skin formulations. <span style="display:none"></span>
