About
Hydroxypropyl Bislauramide Mea is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This ingredient is a di-alkyl amide of hydroxypropylamine (MEA = monoethanolamine), functioning as a skin-conditioning agent and viscosity controller. It is not individually listed in EU Annexes II or III. The lauryl chain (C12) is well studied and considered low in toxicity. MEA derivatives are generally well tolerated; however, as with all amide-type ingredients, residual free MEA may cause mild irritation. No specific EU restriction applies to this compound.
Skin benefits
- Skin conditioning — imparts smoothness and softness
- Viscosity control — improves product texture
Known concerns
- Residual free MEA may contribute to skin or eye irritation
- Not individually listed in EU cosmetic annexes
