Sodium C14-C16 Olefin Sulfonate is a chemical that is often found in a wide range of cleaning and body care products. It comes from the reaction of olefins, specifically hydrocarbons with an even number of carbons between 14 and 16, with sulfate. The result is an anionic surfactant that is very effective in removing impurities.
This compound is particularly popular in the cosmetics industry and in household cleaning products. This is due to its ability to create foam and effectively remove grease and grime. Besides, it is also resistant to hard water. Sodium C14-C16 Olefin Sulfonate is also biodegradable, which means it is less of a burden on the environment than many other chemical cleaners. Still, it is always important to handle these substances with care to avoid damage to the skin and eyes.
