About

A PEG-15 ethoxylated amine sulfate used as a surfactant and antistatic agent, carrying standard ethoxylation byproduct concerns.

Ethyl PEG-15 Cocamine Sulfate is an internal sulfate salt of a PEGylated cocamine (coconut-derived). The 15-mole ethoxylation raises concerns about residual ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane. Internal salt formation (zwitterionic character at certain pH) moderates the irritation potential compared to fully cationic quaternary compounds. Coconut alkyl chain provides good biodegradability. The ingredient is not specifically restricted under EU Annex II or III cosmetics regulation.

Skin benefits

  • antistatic conditioning
  • good foaming properties

Known concerns
