About
Disodium Deceth-5 Sulfosuccinate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Disodium Deceth-5 Sulfosuccinate is a sulfosuccinate-type surfactant derived from decyl alcohol (5 mol EO), functioning as a cleansing and foaming agent. It is not listed in EU Cosmetics Regulation Annexes II–VI and carries no specific concentration restrictions. Sulfosuccinates are generally considered mild surfactants with good foaming performance and lower irritation potential than alkyl sulfates or ether sulfates. Minor skin or eye irritation is possible at high concentrations in sensitive individuals.
