Safety score · 0–100

Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

An amphoteric surfactant — gentler than classic sulfates while still giving a rich, creamy lather. Common in mild shampoos and body washes. The usual PEG-class caveat applies: trace 1,4-dioxane depends on purification.

Skin benefits

  • Rich, creamy lather
  • Less stripping than classic sulfates

Known concerns

  • PEG-derived trace 1,4-dioxane caveat
