About

A fatty acid amide used as a surfactant and foam booster that is restricted in the EU due to potential nitrosamine formation.

Lauramide DIPA (diisopropanolamine) is listed in EU Cosmetic Regulation Annex III under entry III/60, which restricts diethanolamine (DEA) derivatives due to their potential to form carcinogenic N-nitrosamines during storage or use. It is permitted in cosmetic products only under specific concentration limits and must not be used in products that can lead to nitrosamine formation. These restrictions reflect concerns around impurity control rather than inherent toxicity of the compound itself.

Skin benefits

  • Used as a surfactant and foam-boosting agent in cleansing products

Known concerns

  • EU Annex III restricted (III/60) — DEA derivatives with nitrosamine formation potential
  • Requires careful impurity monitoring in formulations
