About

An ethoxylated fatty diamine used as a skin conditioning agent and antistatic in cosmetic formulations.

This ingredient is an ethoxylated docosamine (C22 fatty amine) with an average of 105 EO units, functioning primarily as a hair and skin conditioning agent. It is not subject to specific EU cosmetic restrictions under Annex II/III/IV. Residual 1,4-dioxane from the ethoxylation process is the primary impurity concern, and manufacturers are expected to follow GMP to minimize this.

Skin benefits

  • Acts as an antistatic agent, reducing static charge in hair and skin
  • Provides lubricity and soft skin feel

Known concerns

  • May contain trace 1,4-dioxane (a potential carcinogen) from ethoxylation process
  • Potential skin sensitization in susceptible individuals
