Is Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate natural?
Quite simply, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate's a de-greasing, emulsifier, and foaming agent used in many shampoos and other cleaning products much like SLS and SLES.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate's organic because the molecule is based on carbon-carbon bonds, but it's also not like other chemicals either.
Are sulfates and sulfonates the same?
The name may be misleading, but sodium C14-16 olefin sulfonate is not a sulfate.
Sulfonate is related to but not the same as sulfates.
In a sulfonate the sulfur is linked direct to a carbon atom where as a sulfate is linked directly to the carbon chain via an oxygen atom.
Sodium lauryl sulfate and sodium laureth sulfate are the most commonly used surfactants when formulating hair shampoos due to their excellent foaming ability and the ease of viscosity adjustment.
However, when formulating a body wash or body shampoo, a milder or less irritating surfactant is preferred

Is sodium lauroyl sarcosinate the same thing as sodium lauryl sulfate?
Here's the 411: They may have the same initials (SLS), but sodium lauroyl sarcosinate and sodium lauryl sulfate are NOT the same thing.
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is only similar to sodium lauryl sulfate in that they're both surfactants, but that's about where it ends.
Is sodium laureth sulfate good for skin?
Nazarian says although sodium lauryl sulfate is not a bad ingredient for most people, it can, in fact, be an irritant.
"If you're going to get Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate in your eyes or if you're not going to wash it off your skin and you're going to leave some of the residue on your skin, it can be irritating," Nazarian says.
Is sodium lauryl sulfate bad for you?
The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regards SLS as safe as a food additive.
According to most research, SLS is an irritant but not a carcinogen.
Studies have shown no link between the use of SLS and increased cancer risk.
According to a 2015 study, SLS is safe for use in household cleaning products.
Is sodium lauroyl sarcosinate bad for your skin?
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is not expected to be potentially toxic or harmful, and has a low oral toxicity.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is not found to be mutagenic, irritating or sensitizing, although as stated above, it may enhance the penetration of other ingredients through the skin.
What Are The Bad Ingredients In Hair Products?

-Parabens.
-Polyethylene Glycols (PEG)
-Phthalates.
-Formaldehyde.
-Triclosan.
-Dimethicone.
-Retinyl palmitate.
What is sodium lauroyl sarcosinate in skin care?
Sodium lauroyl sarcosinate is a synthetic or plant-derived surfactant (cleansing agent) that also works as an emulsifier.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is most often used in face and body cleansers and shampoos but is sometimes also used in leave-on products.
Is sodium lauroyl isethionate good for skin?
Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is toxic.
The reality is Sodium Cocoyl Isethionate is a safe and gentle surfactant (cleaning agent) that works very well in skin cleansers and body wash.
The point is that you will not automatically know what toxic ingredients to avoid just by looking at names on a skincare label.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate and shampoo
This is the last surfactant in our shampoo before we move on to some other fun categories!
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate (DLSS) is the most mild surfactant we put in our shampoo.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate has the lowest eye and skin irritation of any surfactant in the formula.

Sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS) and Sodium laureth sulfates (SLES) are ingredients commonly used in producing shampoo, soaps, detergents, toothpaste and a whole lot of personal care products.
Sodium lauryl sulfate can be made from petroleum oil (via the OXO process) or from coconut or palm oil (via the Ziegler process).
In both processes, fatty acids are extracted and converted to fatty alcohols, then sulfonated to become a crystalline salt.
If SLS undergoes a chemical process called “ethoxylation,” it becomes SLES.
SLS and SLES are found in high concentrations in industrial products, including engine degreasers, floor cleaners, and car wash products and used in lower concentrations in household and personal care products such as cleaning products, toothpastes, shampoos, and shaving foams.
Sulfates strip the skin (and scalp, in the case of shampoo) of natural oils that our skin actually needs for protection.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate can be very irritating to people with sensitive skin. Studies show that even modest amounts in products can cause allergic reactions.
What’s more, because Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate removes the skin’s natural, protective oils, the body ends up producing more oil (the very thing you’re trying to get rid of) to compensate.
The debate on SLS and the link to cancer is still ongoing.
Why switching to sulfate-free shampoo might be good for you.
Sulfate is a powerful agent in shampoos, it does not contribute to the hair cleaning process, instead it strips the natural oils in your hair, causing it to dry out.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate also makes the colour of your hair fade over time.
Curly and kinky hair are naturally prone to dryness and overusing shampoos that contain sulfate may lead to dryness, irritation, and ultimately breakage.
A good sulfate free shampoo will not produce much lather yet it gently cleanses the hair, conditions and balances the hair’s pH levels, thus preventing cuticle damage.

Alternatives & Substitutions
You’ll want to look at other anionic surfactants; liquid ones will be the easiest.
Sodium C14-16 Alpha Olefin Sulfonate (Bio-Terge AS40) would be a pretty simple swap as the active surfactant matter (ASM) is close, but the pH is higher, so you’ll need to test and potentially adjust the pH of your finished product.
Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLeS) could also work, but be sure to compare active surfactant matter values as different Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLeS) can have very different active surfactant matters.

Associated Health Problems
Both SLS and Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate are known as anionic surfactants.
Anionic surfactants are not just used in cosmetic products, but also in industrial cleaners found in car washes, floor cleaners, and engine degreasers.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate’s not considered a carcinogen by OSHA or IARC and has no chronic toxicity that has been reported.
While Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate has gentler properties than its sister chemical, SLS, studies have shown that it can potentially irritate the skin in some people.
Like all chemicals, Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate should not be ingested, and if it gets into your eyes then it should immediately be rinsed out with water.
Our Recommendation
Although most people don’t suffer irritation from MES, it’s still a surfactant so it’s possible that you could experience some minor irrigation.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate’s not a dangerous chemical, but it’s best to avoid all surfactants.
We recommend using natural products whenever possible.

Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate is a gentle surfactant that foams with water and cleanses the skin and hair.
Surfactants are partly water-soluble and partly oil-soluble, which allows the oil and water-based ingredients of a formula to blend well, but also to be rinsed well.
Disodium laureth sulfosuccinate is often used in cosmetics as a milder alternative to sulfates, although one doesn’t systematically replace the other as they are not the same material and will not behave in the same way with other ingredients.
Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is derived from palm oil, which is why Lush try not to overuse it and find other options when possible.
