STEPANOL WA-100 can be used as a foaming agent and mouth dispersant in dentifrices. Because of its low levels of unsulfated material, STEPANOL WA-100 will not cause toothpaste formulations to have the bitter taste associated with other sodium lauryl sulfates. STEPANOL WA-100 can also be used in powdered formulations such as hand cleaners and powdered baths and can be used in liquid hand soaps and shampoos.
