$0.65COST/WASH
A pH-neutral car shampoo featuring a sodium alkyl sulfonate surfactant system designed for enthusiasts seeking high-foaming performance with surface-safe cleaning.
Key Chemistry
pH
8
Active Mechanism
surfactant emulsification and soil suspension
Surfactants
2 (anionic, nonionic)
Expert Analysis
Uses sodium C14-16 alkane hydroxysulfonate as the primary surfactant at 8-27%, combined with nonionic co-surfactants to create stable foam and effective cleaning. The alkaline pH of 8 (despite pH-neutral claims) indicates buffering to optimize surfactant performance while remaining gentle on protected surfaces.
Key Differentiators
- •High concentration of sodium alkyl hydroxysulfonate provides superior foam stability and grease-cutting power
- •Full ingredient transparency with only 7 components creates a clean, focused formulation
