Disodium cetearyl sulfosuccinate

Disodium cetearyl sulfosuccinate (CAS 91697-07-3) is an anionic surfactant derived from sulfosuccinic acid and C16-18 fatty alcohols.

Where is Disodium cetearyl sulfosuccinate used?

• Personal care: shampoos, body washes, facial cleansers
• Conditioning creams: stabilises oil-in-water emulsions and improves spreadability
• Baby care and sensitive skin lines: primary or co-surfactant
• Home care and industrial cleaning: boosts detergency and emulsifies oily soils on hard surfaces
• It delivers low-irritation lather while maintaining the skin's moisture balance.

Good to know: Often used alongside harsher actives to mitigate potential irritation.

Commercial specifications
