Netto : 50 ml Functions: Sodium Xylene Sulfonate is a surfactant found in personal care products, primarily in shampoos, because of its ability to serve as a claritant or wetting agent that helps a formula spread more easily and ensure efficient cleansing, according to Johnson& Johnson. It is classified as a hydrotrope, or an organic compound that increases the ability of water to dissolve other molecules. Because of Sodium Xylene Sulfonate's dissolving abilities, it is often added to shampoos as a thickening agent that helps suspend other ingredients, clearing out the cloudy look of a formula (Sci-Toys.com).
Sodium Xylene Sulfonate is FDA approved, and is seen in shampoos and other products in concentrations up to 10%.
