Product description


Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate is a milder anionic tenside from the sulfosuccinate group. It is produced in a multi-step process: the fatty alcohol (lauryl) is first chemically bonded to the succinate skeleton (esterification), followed by sulfonation and finally neutralization to the disodium salt. Compared to conventional alkyl sulphates, it has a larger molecule, which in practice translates into a gentler wash profile - but still produces a pleasant foam and removes common impurities in rinse products well.

Key benefits

  • Gentler cleaning - suitable for formulations where you want a gentler tenside base.
  • Good foaming power - promotes a rich, creamier lather.
  • Pleasant tolerance - often chosen in products for more sensitive skin (rinses).
  • Balanced wash profile - less "degreasing" feel than stronger sulfate tensides.
  • Suitable for tenside blends - works well in combination with both amphoteric and non-ionic tensides.

Suitable for products such as

  • Shampoos and mild cleansing bases for hair
  • Shower gels and body washes
  • Facialcleansing gels (rinse-off formulas)
  • Liquid soaps and hand wash formulations
  • Baby and sensitive wash products (by total formulation)

Use in formulation

  • Water soluble - intended primarily for aqueous phase and tenside systems.
  • Compatible with both amphoteric tensides (e.g. betaines) and non-ionic tensides (e.g. glucosides) - useful for fine-tuning fineness, lather and viscosity.
  • Miscible with common wetting agents and thickening systems for washing products (selection depends on target clarity and pH).
  • Practical tip: for a "creamier" lather and better slip, it is often combined with an amphoteric tenside and a moisturizing ingredient.

Safety and storage

  • Designed for rinse-off products; avoid contact with eyes when working.
  • For sensitive skin, always fine-tune the overall fineness of the formulation (combination of tensides, humectants, pH).
  • Store in a tightly closed container, dry, protected from moisture and contamination.

Is Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate a "sulfate-free" tenside?

Chemically, it is not a classical alkyl sulfate (like SLS/SLES), but a sulfosuccinate. In marketing it is often included among the more environmentally friendly alternatives, but "sulfate-free" depends on how you set up your labeling rules in your product formulation and communication.


Can it be thickened with table salt (NaCl) as with other tensides?

The "salt curve" doesn't always work the same as with some sulfate systems. The viscosity depends on the entire tenside composition, electrolyte content and pH; it is often more reliable to use thickeners designed for tenside systems.


How does it behave in the presence of cationic polymers or conditioners?

As an anionic tenside, it can form complexes with cationic components that will affect clarity or viscosity. If using cationic polymers, test stability, clarity and sensory properties at the final pH.


Is it suitable for clear (transparent) gels?

It may be, but clarity always depends on the type of thickening, salt content, perfume and other additives. When targeting transparency, it pays to work with a compatible thickening system and minimize ingredients that will cloud the solution.


Can it also be used in solid shampoos or bath products?

Yes, especially if it is available in solid/powder form. For solid products, watch the dustiness, strength and brittleness of the mass - often combining with other solid tensides and appropriate binders helps.
