SLES (2EO) or SLES (3EO): what’s your choice?

Sodium Lauryl Ether Sulfate 70% comes in two different variants, viz. SLES(2EO) and SLES (3EO).
The number indicates the presence of epoxy groups in the molecule. The difference in numbers leads to different functions and applications.
SLES (3EO) can create copious foam but causes a little more irritation to the skin. SLES (3EO) has better solubility; hence it is more suitable for producing dish washing detergent.
On the other hand, SLES (2EO) has more delicate and subtle foam. SLES (2EO) is known for its better thickening performance; hence it is suitable for producing shampoo and body wash products.
