DETAIL
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is a surfactant. It is a disodium salt of ethoxylated lauryl alcohol bound to sulfosuccinic acid. Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is primarily used in cleansing products, including bubble baths, bath soaps and detergents, shampoos and shaving cream.

Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is an anionic surfactant. This means that this ingredient has a negative charge. The negative charge is associated with the sulfosuccinate portion of the compound. Surfactants function by reducing the surface tension of water which makes it easier to wash dirt from the skin and hair.
