Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate
Sodium Lauroyl Isethionate, often known by the name "SLI," is a mild surfactant that is often used in shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers, and is a favorite ingredient for those with sensitive skin.

This "chunk" version of SLI can be used in several ways - it can be melted, or easily dissolved in other base surfactants or polysorbates or glycerin. SLI has limited solubility in soft and hard water, however it can be dispersed in water. This form of SLI, a chunk, does not contribute to dusting that can be seen with products in powder form. It is stable in aqueous formulations from pH 6-8 at ambient temperature.
