About

Disodium Undecylenoyl Glutamate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Disodium undecylenoyl glutamate is a mild amphoteric surfactant derived from undecylenic acid (a fatty acid with natural antifungal properties) and glutamic acid. Used as a cleansing agent in cosmetic formulations, it is gentler than traditional anionic surfactants and is particularly suited for sensitive-skin products. The ingredient is listed in CosIng and has no EU restriction entries.
