What is the maximum usage rate of sodium laureth sulfate allowed in leave on and rinse off products?

Leaving SLES on skin doesn’t have any benefit for skin but we can guess how mild it is.

As there are no regulatory limits (EU, AUS), I’d say 100%. I believe that is how they were testing the ingredients, neat on the rabbits ears and wait. Or submerge them into solution and wait.

Omg, sometimes I read my comments a while after and wonder how could I write something like this
I guess that’s because I am usually doing it early morning before work. I should re-read it twice or thrice before posting. *cringe*I hope it makes sense. **neat on rabbits ears and wait. At least that is how comedogenicity was tested. And irritancy of some ingredients back at the days.
If you want, I could show you how to check things like this on CosIng .. EU database
SUSMP for AUS is a bit tricky to use, but also handy. -

Sure i want
I sometimes wonder why are they not specifying some limits but they are there.For example dimethicone is OTC skin protector. They don’t say which viscosity so that should mean any viscosity is. But in reality viscosity ≥350 is skin protector, not lower.
Same for SLES, from experience during manufacturing our products, i know that 70% SLES, can be damaging the skin.
