Stability
Specific stability data for ARGININE LAURETH SULFATE is not available. However, considering L-arginine, a potential component, it is water-soluble, with solubility increasing at lower pH levels (5-6) and improved thermal stability around pH 7.0 compared to pH 5.0. Aqueous L-arginine solutions are strongly alkaline and can absorb atmospheric carbon dioxide, potentially affecting stability. Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), the other inferred component, is also water-soluble.
Safety
Safety Profile
ARGININE LAURETH SULFATE has not undergone review by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel, nor is distinct safety information for this compound readily available in standard databases. Its individual potential components, L-Arginine and Sodium Laureth Sulfate (SLES), have been evaluated separately: L-Arginine is generally regarded as safe, while SLES has been deemed safe for cosmetic use with certain concentration or application limitations by the CIR Expert Panel. The FDA has also approved SLES for use as a food additive and as an inert ingredient in pesticide products. It's important to note that Ethyl Lauroyl Arginate HCl, a different arginine derivative, has been reviewed by the SCCS and deemed safe as a preservative at up to 0.15% in mouthwashes and 0.4% in other cosmetic products (excluding lip and spray products), but this is not the same ingredient.

Verdict
Due to its status as an unrecognized cosmetic ingredient and the complete lack of specific research data, ARGININE LAURETH SULFATE's efficacy, safety, and suitability for skincare formulations are entirely unknown.
