DISODIUM PALMITAMIDO PEG-2 SULFOSUCCINATE.

Valuable / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

DISODIUM PALMITAMIDO PEG-2 SULFOSUCCINATE is an anionic surfactant that efficiently cleanses skin by lowering surface tension. This ingredient also functions as a foam booster, enhancing the lathering experience, and as a hydrotrope, aiding in the solubility of other compounds within aqueous formulations.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a cleansing agent and surfactant, DISODIUM PALMITAMIDO PEG-2 SULFOSUCCINATE reduces the interfacial tension between a product and the skin's surface. This action allows for effective emulsification and removal of impurities, such as oils and dirt, during rinsing. Its hydrotropic properties help to maintain the stability and clarity of formulations by improving the solubility of less soluble substances.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Moderate

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded that alkyl PEG sulfosuccinates, including DISODIUM PALMITAMIDO PEG-2 SULFOSUCCINATE, are safe for use under current practices when formulated to be non-irritating. However, there is a noted potential for ocular and skin irritation. Formulators must ensure the final product is non-irritating to adhere to safety guidelines. Impurities like formaldehyde (up to 0.056%) and 1,4-dioxane (up to 0.001%) have been identified in related sulfosuccinate compounds, emphasizing the importance of sourcing high-purity raw materials.
