About
Disodium Lauramido Mea-sulfosuccinate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This sulfosuccinate surfactant is classified H315 (causes skin irritation), H318 (causes serious eye damage), and H319 (causes serious eye irritation) under CLP. It is structurally related to disodium laureth sulfosuccinate but uses a lauric acid/MEA amide rather than ethoxylated alcohol. The amide linkage generally improves mildness. Used in facial cleansers, baby care products, and body washes at low concentrations (typically 1-10%) where irritation risk is manageable. Not listed in CosIng Annexes with restrictions.
Skin benefits

Known concerns
