DISODIUM COCOYL BUTYL GLUCETH-10 SULFOSUCCINATE

Description

Disodium Cocoyl Butyl Gluceth-10 Sulfosuccinate is a multi-functional surfactant widely used in personal care products and cosmetic formulations. This ingredient is derived from coconut oil and glucose, combining the mildness of sugar-based surfactants with the cleansing power of sulfosuccinates.

As an amphoteric surfactant, it exhibits excellent foaming properties and stability across a wide pH range. Its molecular structure allows for effective removal of dirt, oil, and impurities from the skin and hair while maintaining a gentle cleansing action. This makes it particularly suitable for sensitive skin formulations and baby care products.

Disodium Cocoyl Butyl Gluceth-10 Sulfosuccinate demonstrates good biodegradability and low irritation potential, aligning with the growing demand for environmentally friendly and skin-compatible ingredients. It functions as an effective emulsifier and solubilizer, helping to incorporate oils and fragrances into water-based formulations.

In shampoos and body washes, this ingredient enhances lather quality and improves the overall sensory experience. Its ability to reduce surface tension also contributes to better product spreadability and rinse-off properties. Formulators often combine it with other surfactants to create balanced, mild cleansing systems suitable for daily use.
