About

Stearamidoethyl Ethanolamine is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Stearamidoethyl Ethanolamine is a fatty acid alkanolamide derived from stearic acid and ethanolamine, used as an emulsifying and antistatic agent. Its GHS hazard profile is concerning: H315 (skin irritant), H317 (skin sensitizer), H319 (eye irritant), and H360 (suspected of damaging fertility or the unborn child — reproductive toxicity). This reproductive toxicity classification (H360) is particularly serious for a cosmetic ingredient, as it falls within the CMR (Carcinogen, Mutagen, Reprotoxic) concern framework under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, which would require its placement in Annex II (banned) if CMR Category 1B classification is confirmed.

Known concerns

  • H360 — Suspected reproductive toxicant (CMR concern)
  • H315 — Skin irritant
  • H317 — Skin sensitizer
  • H319 — Eye irritant
  • CMR classification under EU Regulation raises serious safety concerns
