Highly effective anionic surfactant based on linear alkylbenzene sulfonates (LAS) with optimized biodegradability profile.
Excellent foaming performance and foam stability across a broad pH range (pH 4–11).
Superior grease-cutting and soil-suspension capability in hard water conditions (up to 15°dH).
Low irritation potential, making it suitable for mild personal care formulations.
Compatible with common co-surfactants (e.g., betaines, alkanolamides) and electrolytes in concentrated liquid systems.
Household liquid detergents and all-purpose cleaners.
Mild shampoos and body washes requiring high foaming and low skin impact.
Industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning formulations for food service and healthcare environments.
Carpet and upholstery shampoos where rapid soil emulsification is critical.
Laundry pre-treatment gels and stain removers.

Q1: What is the primary function of Lutensit A-LBS in personal care formulations?
A: Lutensit A-LBS is an amphoteric surfactant primarily used for its mild cleansing, foaming, and foam-stabilizing properties. It enhances viscosity and improves the sensory profile of shampoos, body washes, and facial cleansers—especially when combined with anionic surfactants like SLES or SLS.
Q2: Is Lutensit A-LBS suitable for sulfate-free and sensitive-skin formulations?
A: Yes—Lutensit A-LBS is inherently mild and compatible with sulfate-free systems. Its amphoteric nature provides excellent skin and eye compatibility, making it a preferred choice in gentle, pH-balanced, and dermatologically tested products.
Q3: How does Lutensit A-LBS perform across different pH ranges?
A: Lutensit A-LBS exhibits good stability and functionality over a broad pH range (approximately pH 4–9), maintaining effective surfactant performance and compatibility with common preservatives and active ingredients in typical cosmetic and household formulations.
Q4: Can Lutensit A-LBS be used in cold-process formulations?
A: Yes—it is fully soluble in water at room temperature and does not require heating for incorporation, supporting energy-efficient, cold-process manufacturing in liquid cleansers and conditioning products.
