Shampoos

Colonial SLES-2 produces suds that are mild, gentle and profuse. Shampoos and bubble baths, compounded from Colonial SLES-2 and alkanolamides, perform well under a range of conditions. The addition of organic salts produces remarkable increases in viscosity, making economical formulas possible.

Colonial SLES-2 generates a slightly wetter foam than a one mole ether sulfate.

Colonial SLES-2 is relatively unaffected by hard water and is useful in many cleansing applications.
