Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate (DLS) is a surfactant used in skincare products like cleansers, shampoos, and bubble baths. It is known for its gentle cleansing properties, ability to enhance the foaming properties of formulas, and its inherent acidity, which makes it easier to formulate acidic cleansers. It is a disodium salt of an ethoxylated lauryl alcohol half ester of sulfosuccinic acid. It is primarily used in cleansing products, including bubble baths, bath soaps and detergents, shampoos and shaving cream.
