About

A small amine (AEPD) used at low percentages to adjust the pH of cosmetic products to skin-friendly levels. Safe in use but should not be combined with nitrosating ingredients to avoid nitrosamine formation.

  • Helps neutralize acidic ingredients
  • Stabilizes emulsions

Known concerns

  • Mildly irritating to eyes at higher concentrations
  • Forms amines — theoretical nitrosamine concern if formulated with nitrosating agents
