About
Disodium Capryloamphodiacetate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Disodium capryloamphodiacetate is the disodium salt of an amphoteric surfactant derived from caprylic (C8) fatty acid, containing dual carboxylate anionic sites and an amine cationic site. It is structurally analogous to disodium caproamphodiacetate but with a slightly shorter carbon chain (C8 vs C6), conferring better foaming and surface activity while maintaining the mildness characteristic of amphoteric surfactants. The capryloamphodiacetate series is not individually listed in EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, indicating no triggered regulatory concerns. These amphoteric surfactants are commonly used in natural and organic cosmetic certifications.

- Mild amphoteric surfactant for gentle cleansing
- Improves foam quality in sulfate-free formulations
- Suitable for sensitive-skin, baby care, and natural/organic cosmetic lines
Known concerns
