Disodium tallowamido MEA-sulfosuccinate, a surfactant, is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as a foaming agent (increases the foam formation and improves the volume, structure and stability of the foam) and solubilizer (acts hydrotropically, i.e. it increases the solubility of a substance which is hardly soluble in water). Furthermore, the substance has a skin cleansing effect.

MEA is the acronym for monoethanolamine, an alcoholamine. Tallowamide refers to tallow fat derivatives based on beef tallow. Succinates are salts/esters of succinic acid.
