Its chemical properties enable it to bind to dirt and grime particles, giving them ability to be washed away from the surface of the skin or hair. It has greater cleansing power than soap providing more efficient cleansing function.
Usage of SLES is reasonable for toothpastes because the foam is able to enter the small spaces between the teeth that cannot be entered by the bristles on a toothbrush.
As an emulsifier, it helps mix other ingredients together and prevents them from separating during transit or as the products settles. This prolongs the shelf-life of the product.
