This hydroxysultaine surfactant is derived from amidopropyl betaine chemistry using a cannabis-derived fatty acid source. Zwitterionic surfactants like hydroxysultaines are known for their mildness, outperforming anionic surfactants in corneal irritation assays. Not restricted under EU Regulation 1223/2009. The ingredient should be evaluated for residual cannabis plant material which is separately regulated under EU Novel Food regulations if used as an extract.
