About

A cleansing surfactant generally considered milder than classic sulfates, though it can still dry or sting.

Disodium C12-14 pareth-3 sulfosuccinate is an anionic surfactant used in cleansers and shampoos. Sulfosuccinates are typically milder than sodium lauryl sulfate, but they are still surfactants and can irritate eyes or over-dry compromised skin when used aggressively. In normal wash-off use it is usually acceptable.
