About

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

Erucamidopropyl hydroxysultaine is a zwitterionic surfactant structurally similar to cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine, used for its cleansing and foaming properties. It is listed in CosIng with functions as a surfactant-cleansing agent. At typical use concentrations (up to ~10%) it has a favorable safety profile, though like all surfactants it can cause transient irritation in compromised skin barriers.

Skin benefits

  • Effective cleansing agent
  • Good foaming properties
  • Generally mild on skin compared to anionic surfactants

Known concerns

  • May cause mild skin irritation in sensitive individuals
  • Typical surfactant irritation at high concentrations
