The amide group increases polarity and substantivity to keratin, providing durable conditioning even in rinse-off applications. The existing PubChem score of 72 reflects its status as a moderately studied cosmetic ingredient with some potential for skin sensitization at high concentrations. No specific EU Annex restrictions identified.
