DISODIUM OLEAMIDO MEA-SULFOSUCCINATE.

Valuable CAS 68479-64-1 / 79702-63-9 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

DISODIUM OLEAMIDO MEA-SULFOSUCCINATE is a mild, multi-functional cleansing agent, widely utilized in rinse-off formulations. It effectively reduces surface tension to aid in thorough cleansing while enhancing foam volume and stability. This ingredient also acts as a hydrotrope, improving the solubility of less soluble compounds.

Surfactant Cleansing Foam Boosting Foaming Hydrotrope Antistatic

Science

This ingredient operates primarily as a surfactant by lowering the surface tension within cosmetic products, which facilitates uniform application and aids in the emulsification and removal of oils and particulate matter from the skin. It boosts foam by improving its volume, texture, and overall stability, contributing to a more satisfying user experience. Its hydrotropic properties enable it to increase the aqueous solubility of other formulation components. Notably, it exhibits inherent mildness to both ocular and dermal tissues, and can mitigate potential irritation when co-formulated with more aggressive, high-foaming anionic surfactants.

Safety

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically assessed DISODIUM OLEAMIDO MEA-SULFOSUCCINATE. However, general safety assessments for related sulfosuccinate salts, such as dialkyl sulfosuccinates, indicate their safety in cosmetic formulations when properly formulated to be non-irritating. Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate, a structurally similar ingredient, was deemed safe by CIR at concentrations up to 2% in leave-on and up to 10% in rinse-off products when non-irritating. EWG Skin Deep® assigns low hazard scores across critical safety concerns including cancer, allergies & immunotoxicity, and developmental & reproductive toxicity.
