Mmmmmmmmm interesting I've just a quick look on Wikipedia but still can't make my mind up.
Quote:
*Not to be confused with Sodium lauryl sulfate.
Sodium laureth sulfate (SLS), or sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES), is an anionic detergent and surfactant found in many personal care products. Its chemical formula is CH3(CH2)10CH2(OCH2CH2)nOSO3Na.
*Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS or NaDS), sodium laurilsulfate or sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) is an organic compound with the formula CH3(CH2)11SO4Na. It is an anionic surfactant used in many cleaning and hygiene products.
Sorry Simon it's gone over my head, so I'll leave you or someone else to try and work it out.
