About

A sulfosuccinate surfactant incorporating a cocamide MIPA (coconut oil fatty acid + monoisopropanolamine) moiety, offering rich foaming and effective cleansing with mild skin compatibility.

The cocamide MIPA component (derived from coconut oil fatty acids and MIPA) introduces an amide linkage similar to betaines, which improves mildness and foam stability. However, cocamide MIPA itself has been subject to scrutiny due to potential formation of nitrosamines when combined with nitrosating agents — a concern recognized under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which restricts secondary amine-containing ingredients that can form nitrosamines. Cocamide MIPA is listed in Annex III of the EU cosmetics regulation with a maximum concentration limit and prohibition in products containing nitrosating agents. This ingredient's safety depends on strict formulation controls to prevent nitrosamine formation.

Skin benefits

  • Excellent foaming and cleansing with good skin feel
  • Coconut-derived amide provides natural mildness boost to the formulation

Known concerns

  • Cocamide MIPA component is subject to EU Annex III restrictions due to nitrosamine formation potential
  • Must not be used in formulations containing nitrosating agents (e.g., certain preservatives)
  • Maximum use concentration regulated under EU law
