DISODIUM CAPRYLOAMPHODIACETATE.

Valuable CAS 68298-18-0 / ANTISTATIC, CLEANSING, FOAMING, HAIR CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

Disodium Capryloamphodiacetate is a gentle amphoteric surfactant utilized for its cleansing and foaming properties. It effectively reduces surface tension, facilitating the removal of oil and dirt while promoting foam stability, making it suitable for a wide range of sensitive skin applications.

Summary

Antistatic Cleansing Foaming Foam boosting Hair conditioning Hydrotrope Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions as an amphoteric surfactant, acting upon the skin and hair by lowering surface tension. This action enables the emulsification of water with lipid-based impurities and dirt particles, allowing for their efficient removal via rinsing. Furthermore, it enhances formulation aesthetics and performance by acting as a mild foaming agent and a foam booster, contributing to increased lather and stability. It also exhibits hydrotropic properties, improving the solubility of poorly soluble substances, and provides conditioning and antistatic benefits, particularly for hair.

Stability

This ingredient, mirroring its related counterpart Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, exhibits stability across a broad pH spectrum, specifically from pH 2.0 to 13.0, with optimal performance observed between pH 4.0 and 9.0. It demonstrates robust resistance to hard water and is compatible with anionic, nonionic, and cationic surfactant systems. For optimal integration, incorporation during the final stages of formulation is recommended.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Low

While Disodium Capryloamphodiacetate (CAS 68298-18-0) has not been explicitly reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel, structurally analogous fatty amphocarboxylates, such as Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, have been deemed safe in current cosmetic use and concentrations. In the US, most cosmetic ingredients do not require pre-market FDA approval, excluding color additives. No specific safety opinion from the SCCS was found.
