DISODIUM CUPHEAMIDO MIPA-SULFOSUCCINATE.

Insufficient Data / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING

This ingredient functions as a mild surfactant, effectively reducing surface tension to aid in cleansing, emulsification, and foam enhancement. It is particularly noted for its gentle profile on both skin and eyes, making it suitable for sensitive formulations across all skin types.

Summary

Surfactant Cleansing Agent Emulsifier Foam Booster

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a surfactant, Disodium Cupheamido Mipa-Sulfosuccinate operates by decreasing the interfacial tension between immiscible phases, such as oil and water. This action facilitates the suspension and removal of impurities, allowing for efficient cleansing. Its molecular structure enables it to emulsify oily substances into water and significantly boost foam production, while its mild nature contributes to a reduction in potential irritation, even when combined with more aggressive anionic surfactants.

Stability

This ingredient, consistent with related MIPA-sulfosuccinates, demonstrates stability across weak acidic, weak alkaline, and hard water conditions. However, it is susceptible to hydrolysis in the presence of strong acids or strong alkalis. For optimal stability and formulation integrity, it is advisable to maintain a pH within the range of 5.0 to 9.0, with particular caution against direct compounding with ingredients exceeding pH 7.0.

Synergies

  • When blended with high-foaming anionic surfactants, it can significantly reduce their irritation potential without notably diminishing foam volume.

Conflicts

  • Strong acids
  • Strong alkalis
  • Direct compounding with ingredients with a pH above 7.0 (based on related sulfosuccinates)

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Insufficient data
Sensitization risk Moderate

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically evaluated Disodium Cupheamido Mipa-Sulfosuccinate, citing insufficient available data. While related dialkyl sulfosuccinate salts are generally deemed safe when formulated to be non-irritating, and one analogue (Diethylhexyl Sodium Sulfosuccinate) has a 'safe as used' determination with an irritancy caution, specific guidelines for this ingredient are absent. Aggregated GHS data for Disodium oleamido mipa-sulfosuccinate, a closely related compound, indicates that 50% of reports classify it as a skin irritant (Skin Irrit. 2) and a serious eye damage hazard (Eye Dam. 1). Although often considered generally mild, there is a noted likelihood of irritation, which may increase when combined with other problematic ingredients, potentially leading to irritation, inflammation, or dryness.
