About
Disodium Caproamphodipropionate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Disodium Caproamphodipropionate is an amphoteric surfactant derived from caproic (C6) fatty acid, used as a secondary surfactant in skin and hair cleansers. It is not restricted under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009.
