  Do moles of Ethylene Oxide make SLES more sticky? Is ALES less sticky than SLES?

  Taking knock-off experiments to the extreme, I determined that SLES is contributing to stickiness itself.

  While I’ve found a lot of info on 2 (and 3 EO) moles being more water soluble and reportedly less irritating than 1 EO,
  I’ve found almost no info on stickiness.

  It looks the opposite: the more EO moles, the more sticky it becomes. Is it true?
  Similarly to SLS being less sticky than SLES.

  Is ALES less sticky than SLES?

  I don’t think I am going to contribute to this because I suspect that the SLES I have is watered down. It is not sticky at all.

  I’ve felt a sticky afterfeel for finished SLES products (diluted)
  Did you feel any residual stickiness from ALES?

  ALES? No.
