Cleansing Agent Surfactant Foam Booster Hydrotrope

Science

Mechanism of Action

As an anionic surfactant, DISODIUM C12-15 PARETH SULFOSUCCINATE functions by significantly reducing the surface tension between water and hydrophobic substances like oils or dirt. This action facilitates the emulsification and suspension of these materials, allowing for easy rinsing. It additionally acts as a foam booster, contributing to a rich and stable lather, and possesses hydrotropic capabilities.

Stability

Sulfosuccinate compounds, including DISODIUM C12-15 PARETH SULFOSUCCINATE, are susceptible to hydrolysis. Optimal stability is observed within a pH range of 6.5 to 7.5, with degradation accelerated under highly acidic conditions.

Conflicts

  • Strong oxidizing agents (e.g., hydrogen peroxide, nitric acid) may react violently.
  • Strong acids may lead to the release of harmful gases or vapors.
  • Prolonged exposure to high temperatures should be avoided, making it unsuitable for very high-temperature processing.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe as used
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded that Alkyl PEG Sulfosuccinates, encompassing DISODIUM C12-15 PARETH SULFOSUCCINATE, are safe under current practices of use and concentration when formulated to be non-irritating. It is also listed in the FDA's Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP). While generally considered to have a low risk of irritation, elevated concentrations or prolonged contact may induce mild skin irritation. Studies involving related sulfosuccinates have indicated strong eye irritation at higher concentrations. For a related ingredient, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, a concentration of 1% is generally recognized as safe for products intended for prolonged skin contact.
