DI-TEA-OLEAMIDO PEG-2 SULFOSUCCINATE.

Valuable CAS 85480-94-0 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

DI-TEA-OLEAMIDO PEG-2 SULFOSUCCINATE is a versatile surfactant, functioning as a cleansing agent, foam booster, and hydrotrope. It effectively reduces surface tension to combine water with oils, aiding in the creation of homogeneous formulas. This ingredient can also contribute a softening effect to the skin.

Summary

surfactant/cleansing foam boosting hydrotrope

Science

Mechanism of Action

This compound primarily functions by reducing the surface tension between different phases within a formulation, facilitating the uniform blending of water and oil for enhanced stability and application. As a surfactant, it acts as a cleansing agent, effectively solubilizing and removing impurities. Its foam-boosting properties enhance lather, while its role as a hydrotrope increases the solubility of other ingredients in aqueous solutions. Furthermore, it can contribute to a softer tactile sensation on the skin.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe as used
Sensitization risk Low

The CIR Expert Panel has concluded that alkyl PEG sulfosuccinates, encompassing this ingredient, are safe in their current applications and concentrations when precisely formulated to be non-irritating. While this ingredient does not pose a sensitization risk, sulfosuccinates collectively exhibit a potential for ocular and skin irritation, necessitating careful product development. A critical consideration is the potential for contamination with toxic impurities such as ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane during manufacturing.
