Could you please explain the difference between N8000 shampoo base (Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate) and Sulfate Free Shampoo Base?

Also, what is the price per kilogram for Sulfate Free Shampoo Base, what is the recommended usage rate, and could you provide some example formulations for its use?

Answer

Difference between N8000 and Sulfate Free Shampoo Base

N8000 is a shampoo base that contains Sulfate, specifically Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate (SLES).

Sulfate Free Shampoo Base, on the other hand, is a base developed without Sulfate compounds. Sulfate-free bases are often preferred as Sulfate can be a strong cleansing agent that may cause irritation or allergic reactions in some individuals.
