About

Myristamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This hydroxysultaine-type amphoteric surfactant is structurally related to cocamidopropyl hydroxysultaine and is widely used for its foam-boosting and viscosity-building properties. It is generally well-tolerated but may cause mild eye irritation. The EU CosIng database lists it without restrictions; it is approved for use in cosmetic formulations as a surfactant with no EU-specific bans or allergen designations.
