What is Disodium cocamido MEA-sulfosuccinate?
Disodium cocamido MEA-sulfosuccinate (CAS 68784-08-7) is a mild anionic surfactant derived from coconut fatty acids, used for foaming, cleansing and emulsifying in aqueous formulations.
Where is Disodium cocamido MEA-sulfosuccinate used?
- Personal care: primary or secondary surfactant in baby shampoos, facial cleansers and body washes
- Sulfate-free shampoo systems: foam booster for gentler hair care
- Liquid hand soaps: degreasing while keeping products compatible
- Industrial and institutional cleaning: improves soil dispersion and surface wetting at moderate use levels
- It is a preferred co-surfactant in rinse-off and leave-on systems where skin and eye compatibility are critical.
