Chile's chemical landscape is uniquely characterized by its strong forestry sector and a growing demand for sustainable Cosmetics. The local industry relies heavily on imported high-concentration raw materials to maintain competitive production costs in Santiago and Valparaíso.
Due to the diverse climatic zones, from the arid north to the humid south, Chilean manufacturers require a surfactant that maintains stability across varying temperature ranges and water hardness levels, making SLES a preferred choice.
Currently, there is a significant shift toward "Green Chemistry" in Chile, where the integration of Sodium Laureth Sulfate is being optimized to balance high detergency with biodegradable standards required by strict local environmental regulations.
