GEROPON® ELK MB
INCI: Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate
Overview
GEROPON® ELK MB is a very mild, nearly colorless sulfosuccinate derived from a three-mole ethoxylated lauryl alcohol. GEROPON® ELK MB provides excellent foam properties, which can be enhanced by blending with sodium laureth sulfate. The combination of these two surfactants provides very mild products to both skin and eyes with excellent foam performance. GEROPON® ELK MB is preserved with 0.1% Kathon® CG* and contains no formaldehyde or formaldehyde-donor preservatives. Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is not listed on Japan's ENCS inventory, but it is listed in the Japanese JSCI standards, No. 503127, and is acceptable for a wide variety of CLS categories of use. Disodium C10-C16 Ethoxylated Sulfosuccinate (>= 30 - < 40%), Butanedioic acid, 2-sulfo-, sodium salt (1:3) (>= 1 - < 5%), Alcohols, C10-16, ethoxylated (>= 1 - < 5%).
