A mild functional surfactant. Safe.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is a mild anionic surfactant of the sulfosuccinate class. INCI: Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate. In a formula it works as a cleansing and foaming agent, markedly milder than lauryl sulfates: it strips less and irritates less. It is used in gentle face washes, baby care, and sensitive-skin products, often as the main mild surfactant or paired with amphoteric co-surfactants. Pregnancy safety. The product rinses off, systemic absorption is negligible, and there is no evidence of harm. It can be used during pregnancy and lactation. Tolerance. Irritation and allergen potential are low, suitable for sensitive skin. As with ethoxylated raw materials, the standard caveat about 1,4-dioxane removal in manufacturing applies.
