About

A triethanolamine-cocoate neutralized hydrolyzed soy protein used for conditioning, with EU Annex III restriction III/62 on hydrolyzed protein allergenic potential.

This ingredient is a fatty acid (coco) neutralized hydrolyzed soy protein quaternized with triethanolamine, used for its film-forming and conditioning properties. The presence of TEA (triethanolamine) raises nitrosamine formation concerns if combined with nitrosating agents, and hydrolyzed proteins are subject to EU Annex III restriction III/62, which requires labeling of certain protein hydrolysates that may be allergenic. The restriction primarily targets airborne and inhalation exposure risk in powder formulations.

Skin benefits

  • Film-forming protein conditioning
  • Improves skin hydration and barrier function
  • Antistatic and soft-skin feel

Known concerns

  • EU Annex III/62 restriction — labeling required for allergenic protein potential
  • TEA can form nitrosamines if contaminated or combined with nitrosating agents
  • Hydrolyzed soy — potential allergen for soy-sensitive individuals
