About

An amine oxide surfactant that acts as a foam booster, viscosity modifier, and mild cleanser in cosmetic formulations.

Amine oxides are non-ionic surfactants that can also act as hydrotropes and viscosity modifiers. Decyltetradecylamine oxide is not individually listed in EU Annexes II or III, indicating no specific ban or restriction. It is considered a mild ingredient, though like all surfactants it may cause transient irritation at high concentrations. The OECD and EU REACH assessments indicate low acute toxicity for amine oxide surfactants in general.

Skin benefits

  • Foam boosting — enhances lather quality in cleansers
  • Viscosity modification — improves product texture and consistency

Known concerns

  • May cause mild skin or eye irritation at high concentrations
  • Not individually regulated in EU cosmetic annexes
