No, these two chemicals are not the same. The difference is well-explained by the following excerpts from Wikipedia, accessed 2013 Feb 11:"[A generic] chemical formula for sodium laureth sulfate is CH3(CH2)10CH2(OCH2CH2)nOSO3Na. Sometimes the number represented by n is specified in the name, for example laureth-2 sulfate. The product is heterogeneous in the number of ethoxyl groups, where n is the mean. ... The related surfactant sodium lauryl sulfate (also known as sodium dodecyl sulfate or SLS) is produced similarly, but without the ethoxylation step."
