About
Disodium Oleyl Sulfosuccinate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Disodium oleyl sulfosuccinate is an anionic surfactant used as a cleansing and foaming agent in cosmetic formulations. It carries multiple GHS hazard classifications: H302 (harmful if swallowed), H315 (causes skin irritation), H319 (causes serious eye irritation), and H400 (very toxic to aquatic life), with signal word 'Warning'. It is not listed in EU CosIng Annex III restrictions, meaning it is not prohibited, but these hazard statements mean it must be handled with appropriate precautions and is typically used at low concentrations in rinse-off formulations to minimise exposure.
