About

A propoxylated tallow-derived amine surfactant, offering an alternative to ethoxylated versions with different impurity profiles.

PPG-3 Tallow Aminopropylamine is a propoxylated (3 PO units) version of a tallow-derived aminopropylamine, functioning as a surfactant. Propoxylation avoids the 1,4-dioxane issue associated with ethoxylation, but may introduce propyne oxide-related impurities. Tallow sourcing remains a concern for some consumers. No specific EU restriction applies to this ingredient in cosmetic formulations.

Skin benefits

  • Functions as a conditioning surfactant in hair and skin care formulations
  • Can modify product rheology and stability

Known concerns

  • Propylene oxide-related impurities are potential carcinogens (IARC Group 2B)
  • Tallow animal-source concerns for certain consumer groups
  • Potential skin sensitization in susceptible individuals
