Sodium Laureth Ether Sulfate (SLES) is modified, and the actually parent chemical is Sodium Lauryl Sulfate (SLS) To derive SLES from SLS, a process called ethoxylation (in which ethylene oxide is introduced) has to take place. This process is key because it turns SLES into a safer, less harsh chemical than its predecessor, while the names of these two cleaning agents and their functions may seem interchangeable.

Stearic acid is a saturated fatty acid with an 18-carbon chain. The IUPAC name is octadecanoic acid. It is a waxy solid chemical, in general the applications of stearic acid exploit its bifunctional character, with a polar head group that can be attached to metal cations and a nonpolar chain that confers solubility in organic solvents. The combination leads to uses as a surfactant and softening agent. Stearic acid is mainly used in the production of detergents, soaps, and cosmetics such as shampoos and shaving cream products. Being inexpensive, nontoxic, and fairly inert, stearic acid finds many niche applications. Like negative plate additive in lead-acid batteries. Stearic acid is used along with simple sugar or corn syrup as a hardener in candies. In fireworks, stearic acid is often used to coat metal powders such as aluminium and iron.

Sodium chloride, commonly known as salt, is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl, representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. Sodium chloride is heavily used, In oil and gas exploration, In textiles and dyeing as a brine rinse to separate organic contaminants, It is also used in processing aluminium, beryllium, copper, steel and vanadium. In the pulp and paper industry, it is used to bleach wood pulp. it is also used as a cleansing agent rubbed on household surfaces. It is also used in shampoo and toothpaste.

Linalool refers to two enantiomers of a naturally occurring terpene alcohol found in many flowers and spice plants. This pair has multiple commercial applications, like scent and perfumed in hygiene products and cleaning agents including soaps, detergents, shampoos, and lotions. It exhibits antifungal properties. It is also used as a chemical intermediate.

Caustic soda also known as sodium hydroxide is a white odorless solid that absorbs moisture from the air. It is a manufactured substance. When dissolved in water or neutralized with acid it liberates substantial heat, which may be sufficient to ignite combustible materials. it is very corrosive. It is generally used as a solid or a 50% solution. Other common names include caustic soda and lye.Sodium hydroxide is used to manufacture soaps, rayon, paper, explosives, dyestuffs, and petroleum products. It is also used in processing cotton fabric, laundering and bleaching, metal cleaning and processing, oxide coating, electroplating, and electrolytic extracting. It is commonly present in commercial drain and oven cleaners.
