About

An ethoxylated tallow-derived amine surfactant with potential dioxane contamination concerns and animal sourcing issues.

PEG-15 Tallow Aminopropylamine is a tallow (animal fat)-derived ethoxylated polyamine surfactant. The ethoxylation process carries a risk of 1,4-dioxane contamination, which is classified as a probable human carcinogen (IARC Group 2B) and is restricted in cosmetic products under EU SCCS guidance. Additionally, tallow derivatives raise concerns for some consumers due to animal sourcing. No specific EU CosIng restriction applies, but purity must be ensured.

Skin benefits

  • Functions as a surfactant and cleansing agent
  • Can contribute to product viscosity and stability

Known concerns

  • Risk of 1,4-dioxane contamination from ethoxylation (EU SCCS: residual dioxane must be removed)
  • Tallow-derived ingredients raise animal-source concerns for some consumers
  • Potential skin sensitization from residual fatty acid impurities
