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
  • Viscosity modification in cosmetic products

Known concerns

  • Mild ocular irritant at high concentrations
  • Possible irritation in very sensitive skin at high use levels
