About

An ethoxylated ethanolamide surfactant. Effective cleanser, but combines two flagged chemistries: PEG (1,4-dioxane risk) and ethanolamide (potential nitrosamine formation with nitrosating agents).

Skin benefits

  • Effective surfactant
  • Mild detergency in shampoos

Known concerns

  • MEA / ethanolamide chemistry — possible nitrosamine formation
  • Ethoxylated; trace 1,4-dioxane risk
  • EU restricts ethanolamine derivatives in some uses
