Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (AOS) is an anionic surfactant derived from the sulfonation of alpha olefins, typically sourced from natural or synthetic fatty alcohols. It is commonly used in personal care formulations to provide effective cleansing and foaming. Known for its high flash foam and excellent rinsability, AOS is frequently included in shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers, and other rinse-off systems. It is often selected as an alternative to traditional sulfates in sulfate-free formulations due to its strong performance and broad compatibility with other surfactants. Show more
