About

An amine oxide surfactant derived from hydrogenated palm kernel oil alkyl chains, functioning as a mild cleanser and foam enhancer in cosmetic formulations.

Hydrogenated Palm Kernel Amine Oxide (CAS 233603-35-5) is the N-oxide of a secondary amine derived from the fatty acid profile of hydrogenated palm kernel oil (predominantly lauric acid C12, with myristic acid C14). The hydrogenation of the alkyl chain produces saturated hydrocarbon chains, improving oxidative stability compared to unsaturated counterparts. Amine oxides are classified as mild surfactants suitable for facial cleansing and body wash formulations. The environmental profile is comparable to other amine oxides, which are biodegradable but require standard wastewater treatment. No EU-specific restrictions apply at normal use concentrations.

Skin benefits

  • Mild cleansing and foaming properties
  • Conditioning and softening for skin and hair
  • Good compatibility with sensitive skin formulations

Known concerns

  • Environmental aquatic toxicity typical of surfactants
  • Transient irritation possible at high concentrations
