About

An amphoteric surfactant with a lauryl hydrophobic chain and glycine/zwitterionic character, used for cleansing and foaming with some sensitization potential.

Lauryl diethylenediaminoglycine is an amphoteric/zwitterionic surfactant based on a lauryl (C12) alkyl chain linked to a diethylenetriamine backbone and glycine. The lauryl chain and tertiary amine raise moderate concerns for skin sensitization in susceptible individuals. Not listed in EU CosIng Annex II (banned) or Annex III (restricted). The compound's surfactant nature means it may disrupt skin barrier at high concentrations. Available data suggests acceptable safety in rinse-off formulations within normal use concentrations, though more comprehensive toxicological data would be desirable.

Skin benefits

  • Cleansing and foaming properties
  • Surface-active agent for product formulation

Known concerns
