About

An amino acid-based surfactant with mild surfactant properties that has been flagged for eye irritation potential.

Bis-Caprylylaminoethyl Glycine is a glycine-derived amphoteric surfactant used in cosmetic formulations. The PubChem safety score of 55 reflects moderate concern, particularly around eye irritation potential which is common among amino acid-based surfactants. It is not specifically restricted under EU Regulation 1223/2009 Annex III but falls under general cosmetic safety requirements. While gentler than many synthetic surfactants, concentrated formulations may still cause eye irritation, and typical cosmetic use concentrations are kept low to mitigate this risk.

Skin benefits

  • Mild amino acid-based surfactant for cleansing formulations
  • Generally gentler alternative to anionic surfactants

Known concerns

  • Eye irritation potential at concentrated levels
  • Moderate safety concern noted in PubChem (score 55)
