Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate - Liquid
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is a mild anionic sulfosuccinate surfactant used to formulate high-foam, sulfate-free rinse-off cleansers. It provides effective cleansing with rich, stable lather and can be used as a primary surfactant or co-surfactant in shampoos, face washes, body washes, hand washes, bubble baths and gentle cleansing systems. It works well with many anionic, amphoteric and nonionic surfactants. Purenso Select's Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate Liquid contains 40% active matter, offering a highly concentrated and efficient surfactant system. Solubility: Water Soluble
Also Known As: Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is commonly referred to as Laureth Sulfosuccinate, a mild sulfate-free anionic surfactant, sulfosuccinate surfactant, gentle foaming surfactant, cosmetic cleansing surfactant, or liquid anionic surfactant.
What is Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate?
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is a mild anionic surfactant belonging to the sulfosuccinate family. It is produced from ethoxylated lauryl alcohol and sulfosuccinic acid and is designed for rinse-off skin, hair and body-cleansing formulations.
Although its name sounds similar to Sodium Laureth Sulfate or SLES, it is chemically different and is commonly selected for sulfate-free cleansing systems. It helps remove oil, dirt and product buildup while providing rich, stable foam and a milder cleansing profile than many traditional high-detergency surfactants.
Why formulators use it
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate can be used as either a primary surfactant or a secondary surfactant, depending on the desired cleansing level, foam profile and active surfactant matter of the formulation.
It is particularly useful when developing:
- Sulfate-Free Shampoo
- Face Wash
- Body Wash
- Shower Gel
- Liquid Hand Wash
- Baby Shampoo
- Baby Wash
- Bubble Bath
- Foaming Cleanser
- Beard Wash
- Pet Shampoo
- Feminine Wash (subject to formulation and testing)
It may be blended with ingredients such as Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Coco Glucoside, Decyl Glucoside, Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate and other compatible surfactants to modify cleansing strength, foam texture, viscosity and after-feel. Compatibility, clarity and viscosity must always be confirmed in the complete formulation.
Recommended Usage Level: Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate Liquid is typically used at 5–20% in facial cleansers and hand washes, 10–40% in sulfate-free shampoos, 5–30% in body washes and shower gels, and 10–35% in bubble bath formulations. The ideal usage level depends on the desired cleansing performance, foam characteristics, viscosity, and the total active surfactant content of the formulation.
