DISODIUM STEARYL SULFOSUCCINATE.

Valuable CAS 65277-59-0 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

Disodium Stearyl Sulfosuccinate is a sophisticated surfactant and emulsifier, integral to high-performance cleansing formulations. It adeptly reduces surface tension, facilitating the harmonious blend of oil and water, while simultaneously enhancing foam quality and boosting the solubility of other active ingredients.

Summary

cleansing surfactant foam boosting hydrotrope

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a primary surfactant, Disodium Stearyl Sulfosuccinate functions by lowering the surface tension of liquids, which is crucial for emulsifying oil and water. This action efficiently aids in the dispersion and removal of dirt and impurities from the skin. Beyond cleansing, it acts as a robust foam booster, creating a richer lather, and serves as a hydrotrope, improving the aqueous solubility of various cosmetic components.

Stability

This ingredient exhibits robust stability within weak acid, weak alkali, and hard water environments. However, it is susceptible to hydrolysis under strong acid or strong alkali conditions. Furthermore, due to the sensitivity of related sulfosuccinates, prolonged exposure to high temperatures during storage or processing should be minimized.

Conflicts

  • strong acids
  • strong alkalis
  • high temperatures
