Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.
A propoxylated hydrogenated tallow amine with similar animal-origin and nitrosamine monitoring considerations as its ethoxylated counterpart.
PPG-2 Hydrogenated Tallowamine is the propoxylated (2 PO) derivative of hydrogenated tallow amine, functioning as a surfactant and emulsifying agent. Like its ethoxylated counterpart, it requires nitrosamine monitoring per EU cosmetic GMP. The hydrogenated form has improved odor stability compared to non-hydrogenated tallow amines.
Skin benefits
- Surfactant properties
- Emulsifying agent
Known concerns
- Animal-derived origin (hydrogenated tallow) - relevant for vegan consumers
