DISODIUM LAURYL PHENYL ETHER DISULFONATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 40795-56-0 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

Disodium Lauryl Phenyl Ether Disulfonate functions as a sophisticated cleansing agent and surfactant, expertly reducing surface tension. It enables the creation of stable emulsions, facilitating the effective removal of oils and environmental debris from the skin's surface.

Summary

Cleansing Emulsifying Hydrotrope Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates primarily as an anionic surfactant, effectively lowering the interfacial tension between oil- and water-based components. This critical property allows it to emulsify otherwise immiscible substances, dispersing and suspending lipid and particulate impurities. Its robust wetting and cleansing capabilities ensure thorough removal of soil and fat particles from both skin and hair.
