About
A plant-based surfactant that cleanses, boosts lather, and helps keep products stable over time.
This sulfosuccinate surfactant is used to cleanse and improve rinsability. It is typically less problematic than the harshest sulfate surfactants, but it can still irritate eyes and dry sensitive skin at higher concentrations or with frequent use. Its safety profile is acceptable, just not especially nurturing.
