About

Lauramidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Lauramidopropyl hydroxysultaine (PubChem CID 83841) is an amphoteric surfactant used in personal care formulations for its mildness and foam-boosting properties. It carries hazard statements H315 (skin irritation), H318 (serious eye damage), and H319 (eye irritation), with a Danger signal word. It is not listed in EU Annexes II or III under Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, meaning it is permitted for cosmetic use, but the hazard profile indicates it should be used at controlled concentrations, particularly in products intended for eye area use.
