Sodium alkyl sulfates are water-soluble salts that act as detergents or wetting agents. They are pale yellow solids/powders or thick liquids, which smell like washing powder. They are water soluble and can form soap bubbles. Sodium alkyl sulfates can be used in detergents, dishwasher liquids, shower gels, shampoos, hair conditioners and fabric softeners. SAS can be used as a fire extinguishing agent because it is non-flammable. In the cosmetic industry it is used as an emulsifier to mix oil and water soluble compounds for toothpaste or moisturizing products.
