DIISOBUTYL SODIUM SULFOSUCCINATE.

Valuable CAS 127-39-9 / SKIN CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

Diisobutyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate is an anionic surfactant engineered to enhance cosmetic formulation stability and performance. It achieves this by efficiently lowering surface tension, enabling the harmonious blending of typically immiscible ingredients.

Summary

Surfactant Emulsifying Foam Boosting Wetting agent Skin Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

As an anionic surfactant, this ingredient actively reduces the surface tension of substances. This key action facilitates superior wetting, emulsifying, and dispersing properties, crucial for creating stable and homogenous formulations. It supports effective ingredient interaction in both aqueous and non-aqueous systems.

Sensitization risk Moderate

The CIR Expert Panel deems Dialkyl Sulfosuccinate salts, including Diisobutyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate, safe for cosmetic applications when formulated to be non-irritating and used within recommended concentrations (up to 5%). However, it carries a potential for skin, eye, and respiratory irritation if proper handling precautions are not observed or when incorporated at higher concentrations. While no specific SCCS status is available, related compounds like diethylhexyl sodium sulfosuccinate are recognized by the FDA for certain uses.
