About
A polymeric amphoteric surfactant that provides mild cleansing and foaming with excellent dermatological compatibility.
This is a polymeric amphoteric surfactant derived from polyethoxy/polypropoxy groups (PPG/PEG) combined with an iminodiacetic acid-type carboxylate group. The term 'amphodiacetate' indicates it contains both acidic (carboxylate) and basic (tertiary amine) functional groups, giving it amphoteric character. It is not listed in any EU cosmetic restriction annex. Amphoteric surfactants of this type are generally well-tolerated on skin and are commonly used in gentle facial cleansers and baby care products.
