Disodium tallamido MEA-sulfosuccinate, a surfactant, is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as a foaming agent (increases foam formation and improves volume, structure and durability of the foam) and solubilizer (acts hydrotropically, i.e. it increases the solubility of a substance which is only slightly soluble in water). Furthermore, the substance has a skin cleansing effect.
MEA is the acronym for monoethanolamine, an alcoholamine.
