Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

Disodium C12-14 Pareth-1 Sulfosuccinate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

With only 1 mol of ethylene oxide, this ingredient is significantly more hydrophobic than its pareth-2 and pareth-3 counterparts, making it an excellent oil solubilizer and powerful primary or secondary surfactant in heavy-duty cleansing formulations. However, the very low EO level means it sits lower on the mildness scale. EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 classifies it as a permitted anionic surfactant in rinse-off cosmetic products. CIR review of similar sulfosuccinates supports safety at current use levels, though caution is advised in leave-on or sensitive-area products.

Skin benefits

  • Powerful oil and grime removal for heavy-duty or professional cleansing products
  • Cost-effective secondary surfactant for sulfate-free formulations

Known concerns

  • Highest irritation potential in the pareth sulfosuccinate series due to minimal EO shielding
  • Not recommended for leave-on products or use around the eyes
