LAURAMINOPROPYLAMINE
Safety score · 0–100
Caution
Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
An industrial fatty diamine used mostly as a building block for milder surfactants and conditioners. As supplied it is corrosive to skin and eyes, so it should not appear unreacted in finished cosmetics.
Skin benefits
- Used as a chemical intermediate for milder amphoteric surfactants
- Provides antistatic and conditioning behaviour once reacted
- Functional in industrial cleaning chemistry
Known concerns
- Free fatty amine, strongly skin and eye corrosive
- Aquatic toxicity hazard requiring controlled handling
- Sensitisation risk from primary amine groups
- Generally used as intermediate, not as a leave-on cosmetic ingredient
