About
Oleamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Oleamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine is an amphoteric surfactant used in rinse-off formulations as a foaming agent and viscosity modifier. EU CosIng does not list it in restricted annexes. Sultaine-based amphoteric surfactants are generally well tolerated, though like all surfactants they can cause mild irritation at high concentrations in sensitive individuals.
Skin benefits
- Effective foaming in cleansers and shampoos
- Antistatic properties for hair care formulations

Known concerns
