Disodium lauryl sulfosuccinate (DLS) is a gentle surfactant that foams with water and cleanses the skin and hair.

Surfactants are partly water-soluble and partly oil-soluble, which allows the oil and water-based ingredients of a formula to blend well, but also to be rinsed well.

DLS is often used in cosmetics as a milder alternative to&nbsp;<a href="https://lush.com/uk/en/i/sodium-lauryl-sulfate">sulfates</a>, although one doesn’t systematically replace the other as they are not the same material and will not behave in the same way with other ingredients. It is derived from&nbsp;<a href="https://lush.com/uk/en/a/does-lush-use-palm-oil">palm oil</a>, which is why Lush try not to overuse it and find other options when possible.
