sulphate
Acid-derived chemical salt
Sulphate is the British spelling of sulfate—a chemical compound containing the sulfate ion (SO₄).
Sulphates appear throughout chemistry and everyday life: copper sulphate, sodium sulphate, magnesium sulphate (Epsom salts).
In hair care, sulphate-free shampoos avoid harsh detergents like sodium lauryl sulphate.
The spelling sulfate dominates in American English and international scientific contexts.
