Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate
Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate
A mild cleansing agent — lifts away oil and dirt with a soft foam; considered gentler than harsher sulfates.
What it does
It lifts oil and dirt off skin so water can rinse them away, and makes a soft foam. It’s there to clean, not to change your skin.
The EU’s ingredient database lists it as a cleanser (helps keep skin clean) and a solubilizer (helps other ingredients dissolve).European Commission, CosIng (© European Union, CC BY 4.0) · uses put in plain words by Drop ↗
