DIMETHYL 9-DECENAMIDE.

Avoid CAS 1356964-77-6 / SOLVENT, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

Dimethyl 9-Decenamide functions primarily as a surfactant and solvent, capable of altering surface tension and potentially impacting cellular permeability due to its amphiphilic nature. While effective in industrial applications, its profile indicates a high risk of irritation to skin and eyes, rendering it unsuitable for precision skincare formulations.

Summary

Surfactant Solvent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This compound acts as an effective surfactant, decreasing surface tension between dissimilar liquids to facilitate emulsification and dispersion within a formulation. Its amphiphilic characteristics may also enable interactions with cellular membranes, thereby influencing permeability and transport mechanisms.

Stability

Dimethyl 9-Decenamide demonstrates general stability under standard conditions. However, it can undergo hydrolysis when exposed to strong acidic or basic environments, forming 9-decenoic acid and dimethylamine. The terminal double bond is susceptible to oxidative degradation. The amide bond exhibits excellent stability in moderately alkaline conditions, with a calculated half-life exceeding 311 years at pH 9.

20%
Sensitization risk Low

The EPA permits its use up to 20% by weight as an inert ingredient (surfactant, solvent) in pesticide formulations for agricultural commodities. GHS classifications indicate it is harmful if swallowed, causes skin irritation (H315), causes serious eye irritation (H319), and may cause respiratory irritation (H335). It is not identified as a sensitizer, but surrogate data describe it as a severe skin irritant and corrosive to the eyes.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Avoid

Dimethyl 9-Decenamide is unsuitable for skincare due to its high irritancy profile, classification as a severe irritant, and lack of any documented clinical benefits for skin.
