Disodium laureth-2 sulfosuccinate is a substance which is used as surfactant in cosmetic formulations. Furthermore the substance acts as foaming agent (changes the surface tension of liquids) and skin care product.
Laureth(s) are the polyoxyethylene ethers of lauric alcohol (for comparison see: Cetethe as polyoxyethylene ether of cetylacohol; steareth as polyoxyethylene ether of stearyl alcohol and others).
