TETRASODIUM DICARBOXYETHYL STEARYL SULFOSUCCINAMATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 3401-73-8 / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

Tetrasodium Dicarboxyethyl Stearyl Sulfosuccinamate is an anionic surfactant that functions as an emulsifier and cleansing agent. It reduces surface tension to facilitate the removal of dirt and oil from the skin. As a sulfosuccinate-type compound, it is generally associated with formulations designed for improved mildness in personal care products.

Surfactant Emulsifier Cleansing Agent Hydrotrope

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functioning primarily as a surfactant, Tetrasodium Dicarboxyethyl Stearyl Sulfosuccinamate decreases the interfacial tension between disparate phases, such as oil and water, which is fundamental for both forming and stabilizing emulsions. As a cleansing agent, its amphiphilic structure enables it to solubilize and lift away surface impurities and sebum. It also acts as a hydrotrope, enhancing the solubility of other compounds in aqueous solutions. Sulfosuccinate surfactants are broadly recognized for their gentle action, contributing to milder overall product profiles.
