Overview
Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate is an ethoxylated anionic surfactant. This means it is water-soluble, negatively charged, and excellent for cleansing applications.
Anionic, or negatively charged, cleansing agents are very powerful at removing dirt and oil from the skin – sometimes to the point of being irritating to the skin. For that reason, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate is rarely used as the only cleanser. Instead, mild amphoteric surfactants are added to make the formula gentler on the skin.
Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate also acts as a hydrotrope, in which it solubilizes water-based ingredients into oils. This ingredient is supplied as a thin colorless liquid, which contains the active ingredient diluted in water.
