What is Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate?

Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is a very mild, non-irritating anionic surfactant. It features excellent detergency, yet with medium degreasing power, which enables the final product to clean well and leaves the skin and hair a delicate feeling after washing. Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is considered by far the best choice of a primary surfactant to formulate sulfate-free gentle hair and skin care products.

Origin：

Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate is obtained via an esterification and sulfonation reaction. In the esterification reaction, lauryl alcohol and maleic anhydride react to form lauryl maleate. In the sulfonation reaction, lauryl maleate reacts with sodium bisulfite to produce the byproduct, Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate.

What is DISODIUM LAURYL SULFOSUCCINATE used for?

Shampoos, bubble bath, bath bombs, soap bars, and base ingredients for body washes can all contain disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate. It works as a surfactant or cleansing agent, emulsifier, and conditioning agent in cosmetics. It is compatible with anionic, nonionic, amphoteric surfactants. It is milder and less irritating than SLS. It is used at up to 3% in leave-on and at up to 7% in rinse-off products.

1.Skin care: It is a desired ingredient in "syndet bars" (soap less soaps) because of its excellent foaming capabilities.

2.Hair care: It will clean the hair without robbing them of moisture, the way some harsh sulphates do.
