It's sodium lauryl ether sulfate, a class of chemicals having the general formula CH3(CH2)11(OCH2CH2)nSO4Na where nis usually a fairly small number such as 2 or 3. As you can probably guess from the formula, it's a surfactant. It's used in shampoos and other cleansers.

Is sulfosuccinate a sulfate?

NO. Sulfates are irritating in part because they're small molecules that can penetrate the skin. Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is a larger molecule that can't penetrate skin. Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate is known to be very gentle to the skin, even at very high concentrations it remains non-irritating to even sensitive skin types. Disodium Laureth Sulfosuccinate has not been sulfated in the production process which makes it free of sulfates. Even though it may sound alike, it is not a Laurel Sulfate. all in all, If you own a shampoo that is sulfate free, but contains sulfosuccinate, then you are ok, this is not harming your hair.
