Expert Verdict
Sulfosuccinates are among the mildest anionic surfactants; significantly lower irritation than lauryl/laureth sulfates; suitable for damaged or sensitive skin. The sulfosuccinate ester linkage and moderate ethoxylation (3 EO) provide a good balance of foam volume and mildness; often used as a secondary surfactant to boost foam while reducing overall system irritation
