DISODIUM LAURAMIDO PEG-5 SULFOSUCCINATE.

Insufficient Data / CLEANSING, FOAMING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

DISODIUM LAURAMIDO PEG-5 SULFOSUCCINATE is a multifunctional anionic surfactant that acts as a cleansing agent, emulsifier, and hydrotrope. It is commonly incorporated into rinse-off formulations to enhance lather, solubilize other ingredients, and effectively remove impurities from skin and hair.

Summary

cleansing agent emulsifying hydrotrope surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by decreasing the surface tension of water, which allows it to more effectively mix with oils and dirt. This action facilitates the removal of unwanted substances from the skin and hair. Furthermore, it contributes to foam generation and improves the solubility of other compounds within aqueous solutions.

Stability

Sulfosuccinate-based ingredients, including PEGylated variants, are prone to hydrolysis, particularly under acidic conditions. Their stability is compromised in the presence of strong acids or strong alkalis, which should be avoided during formulation.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

While the CIR Expert Panel found a broader class of 'Alkyl PEG Sulfosuccinates' to be safe when formulated as non-irritants, DISODIUM LAURAMIDO PEG-5 SULFOSUCCINATE specifically has not undergone an individual CIR review. The EWG lists this ingredient as 'RESTRICTED' for EWG VERIFIED products due to insufficient substantiation. No specific SCCS opinion exists, and while the FDA recognizes it as GRAS, this classification is strictly for household cleaners, not cosmetic applications.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

DISODIUM LAURAMIDO PEG-5 SULFOSUCCINATE is an effective and widely used cleansing and emulsifying agent; however, comprehensive, ingredient-specific safety data from recognized cosmetic review panels (CIR, SCCS) remains unavailable, necessitating cautious consideration for precision skincare.
