Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate(DLSS) VS Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate(DLSES)

Basic Specification Comparison Table

 

Item

DLSS: Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate

DLSES: Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate

Full Chemical Name

Disodium Lauryl Sulfosuccinate

Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate

CAS Number

13192-12-6, 19040-44-9

39354-45-5 (Main 2EO / 3EO Grade)

Core Chemical Structure

Esterified with pure lauryl alcohol,NO EO ethoxylated group

Ethoxylated lauryl alcohol structure, equipped with polyoxyethylene ether chain (2/3 EO)

Production Raw Material

Natural coconut-based lauryl alcohol, no ethylene oxide applied

Produced with ethylene oxide addition reaction

Key By-product Risk

Ultra-low 1,4-Dioxane residue, negligible risk

High 1,4-Dioxane generation risk under regular production

 

Skin Irritation & Application Sensory Performance

 

  • DLSS Features

Free of EO chain, certified ultra-mild anionic surfactant, far lower skin & eye mucosa irritation than SLES and DLSES

Non-drying after rinsing, excellent skin affinity for sensitive skin

Compact & creamy foam, medium foaming speed, stable foam durability

Low cytotoxicity verified by 2026 ACS professional skin cell test report

  • DLSES Features

Ethoxylated structure leads to obvious 1,4-Dioxane residue, medium skin irritation

Slight skin tightness after long-term high-dose usage

Fast foaming speed, abundant fluffy foam, stronger oil removal detergency

Superior water solubility, stable formula performance under low temperature

 

Global Application & Formula Matching Scenarios

 

  • Recommended Application for DLSS

Baby wash, kids shampoo & body wash, sensitive skin facial cleanser

Eye-safe cleansing products, post-medical skin repair rinse-off cosmetics

Natural organic skincare, vegan & cruelty-free cosmetic formulas

High-end mild cleaning products with zero dioxane marketing claims

  • Recommended Application for DLSES

Mass-market daily shampoo, body wash, hand sanitizer with high foam demand

High-oil makeup removing lotion, household industrial degreasing detergent

Cost-effective daily chemical formulas requiring low-temperature system stability

General-grade cleansing products without strict dioxane limitation

 

Global Compliance & Export Regulatory Standard 2026

 

  • DLSS Global Compliance Rules
  1. No maximum dosage limit in China, EU, FDA, KFDA cosmetic raw material catalog
  2. No ethylene oxide residue risk, low third-party testing cost for export shipment
  3. Supports certified marketing labels: EO-free, ultra-low dioxane, mild surfactant
  • DLSES Global Compliance Rules

  1. Strict 1,4-Dioxane mandatory limit: China ≤30mg/kg, EU ≤10mg/kg
  2. Dioxane test report is compulsory for EU, North America cross-border export
  3. Forbidden to mark EO-free or zero-dioxane product highlights

 

Formula Defects & Professional Compounding Solution

 

  • DLSS Shortage & Compounding Advice

Defect: Poor low-temperature water solubility, turbid under high-concentration formula system, ordinary foaming capacity

Compound Suggestion: Blended with amino acid surfactant or cocamidopropyl betaine to upgrade foaming volume and low-temperature formula stability

  • DLSES Shortage & Compounding Advice

Defect: Relatively high skin irritation, unavoidable dioxane by-product hidden risk

Compound Suggestion: Mixed with DLSS or amino acid surfactant to reduce overall skin irritation and average dioxane content

 

2026 Global Bulk Raw Material Cost Level

 

  • DLSS: Advanced suspension bed sulfonation production technology, higher unit price, exclusive for high-end cosmetic grade formula
  • DLSES: Mature mass production process, competitive factory price, mainstream cost-effective surfactant for mass daily chemical industry

 

Quick B2B Raw Material Selection Guide

 

  • Choose DLSS: Priority for mild performance, baby/sensitive skincare, dioxane control, EO-free clean formula, EU high-standard cosmetic export
  • Choose DLSES: Priority for high foam, strong detergency, bulk production cost control, low-temperature stable daily chemical bulk formula
