Sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate is a sodium salt of naphthalene sulfonic acid. Sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate is a surfactant-hydrotrope used in cosmetics. Use concentrations would be typically below 2%. In clinical studies, Sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate was neither an irritant (tested up to 2%), cumulative irritant (tested up to 1%), nor a sensitizer (tested up to 1%). Sodium 2-naphthalenesulfonate is considered safe as used in cosmetic formulations intended to be applied to the skin.
