    without knowing it for sure my instinct would say SLES is more aggressive. but the concentration is very low so I don’t think there will be a difference if the target group is not completely sensitive. 

    IF you wanna make a Cream I would look for alternatives because both are very foamy and that would lead to bubble build-up on the skin.

    that would greatly depend on the goal you have. Can you describe what kind of product you wanna make? 

    Is it cream, lotion, a cleanser, a body wash Shampoo?
