About
Lauramidopropyl Dimethylamine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Lauramidopropyl dimethylamine (CAS 3179-80-4) carries a 'Danger' signal word with multiple hazard statements: H302 (acute toxicity), H314 (skin corrosion), H315 (skin irritation), H317 (skin sensitization), H318 (serious eye damage), H400 (aquatic acute toxicity), and H411 (aquatic chronic toxicity). This compound presents both human health concerns (skin sensitization, eye damage) and environmental hazards, placing it in the lower safety range for cosmetic surfactants.
