| Chemical Name | Trade Name | Characteristic | Main Features |
| Sodium dodecyl sulfate | K12 | White or slightly yellow powder or liquid | Good water solubility, strong detergency, good foaming, emulsification performance is not affected by pH, good biodegradability. Highly irritating, also commonly used as emulsifier |
| Triethanolamine dodecyl sulfate | LST | Light yellow transparent viscous liquid | Mild in nature, lower degreasing and stinging properties than K12, and good compatibility with anionic surfactants. It has thickening effect. It is often used as the main detergent of shampoo and bath, and also used as emulsifier. |
| Fatty alcohol polyoxyethylene ether sulfate | AES | Light yellow viscous liquid | Good detergency in hard water. Good heat resistance, very low irritation, good compatibility with other anionic and nonionic surfactants |
| Alcohol ether sulfosuccinate disodium salt | MES | Light yellow viscous transparent liquid | It is the least irritating and mildest surfactant species, with strong foaming power and good detergency, and can be compounded with cationic surfactants to form a two-in-one shampoo at low cost. However, its viscosity characteristics are poor and its product viscosity is difficult to adjust. |
| Straight chain alkyl benzene sulfonate | LAS、ABS | – | Strong detergency and good foaming and solubility, wide source and low price |
| Sodium secondary chain alkyl sulfonate | SAS | Light yellow liquid or solid | Excellent biodegradability, good detergency and emulsifying power High solubility |
| Alkenyl sulfonate | AOS | – | Good detergency and foaming power in hard water, good biodegradability. Low irritation to skin. Its product is a mixture, product quality is not well controlled and production is limited |
| N-yl glutamate | AGA | Milky white or light yellow powder | Good washing power and detergency. Hard water resistance, affinity for hair, small skin prickly dispersion can be used with a variety of surfactants, and has a certain degree of bactericidal ability |
| Sodium oleoyl amino acid | Lamepon A 613 detergent | Brownish yellow viscous liquid | Good stability in alkaline or neutral solutions, good detergency and emulsification ability in alkaline media, low irritation to the skin, mild, can give hair good conditioning, hard water resistance |
| Sodium N-oleoyl-N-methyl taurate | Igepon T 209 detergent | Milky white or light yellow liquid | Good detergency and emulsification performance Good foam performance, hard water resistant. Good compatibility and biodegradability. Higher cost |
| Tea Saponin | – | Light yellow powder | Natural surfactant, with strong foaming and decontamination power and emulsification and dispersion properties, low irritation to human body, safe, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, anti-itch and anti-dandruff, good biodegradability |
