Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate CAS No.: 42016-08-0
Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate is a clear liquid.
Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate is synthesized by treating lauryl alcohol with sulfur trioxide gas, oleum, or chlorosulfuric acid to produce hydrogen lauryl sulfate. The resulting product is then neutralized by the addition of sodium hydroxide or sodium carbonate.
Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate is found in low concentrations in toothpaste, shampoos, shaving creams, and bubble bath formulations for its foaming and surfactant properties and for its thickening ability. In shampoos, it provides mild cleansing and rich lathering properties, without stripping the moisture from the hair. It should not exceed the concentration of 1% in products intended for prolonged skin contact.
Characteristics
1. Universal mild anionic surfactant with low irritation to skin and eyes.
2. Used for skin and hair cleansing products. It can enhance the product 's salt resistance.
3. Strong foaming performance, easy to rinse, and high cost performance compared with other mild surfactants.
Is disodium Laureth sulfosuccinate a sulfate?
No. It is a compound in which the sulfate ion has been replaced by a sulfonated ester, thus providing a safe, effective, and non-irritating cleanser. As opposed to sulfates which are small molecules, disodium laureth sulfosuccinate is a large molecule that cannot penetrate into the scalp or skin.
Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate plays the role in formulation:
-Cleansing
-Foam boosting
-Foaming
-Surfactant
It is applicable to body wash, shampoo, facial cleanser, hand sanitizer, baby wash. etc.
