DISODIUM PPG-2-ISODECETH-7 CARBOXYAMPHODIACETATE.

Insufficient Data / CLEANSING, HAIR CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

This amphoteric surfactant serves as a mild cleansing agent with excellent foaming characteristics, concurrently functioning as a hair conditioning ingredient. Its unique molecular structure also enables it to act as a hydrotrope, significantly improving the water solubility of other compounds within a formulation.

Cleansing Agent Hair Conditioner Foam Booster Hydrotrope

Science

Mechanism of Action

DISODIUM PPG-2-ISODECETH-7 CARBOXYAMPHODIACETATE operates as an amphoteric surfactant, distinguished by its molecular head containing both positively and negatively charged components. This dual charge facilitates effective cleansing by interacting with and emulsifying impurities. Beyond its mild cleansing action, it enhances hair aesthetics, promoting flexibility, softness, shine, and manageability. Furthermore, it functions as a foam booster and a hydrotrope, augmenting the solubility of other surfactants in aqueous systems.

Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Moderate

A direct Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) assessment for DISODIUM PPG-2-ISODECETH-7 CARBOXYAMPHODIACETATE is currently unavailable. However, evaluations of related amphoacetates, such as Disodium Cocoamphodiacetate, have indicated a potential for corneal impairment at concentrations of 0.1% and 1%. Similarly, patch tests for related compounds like Sodium Cocoamphoacetate at 3% and 5% concentrations revealed doubtful to moderate dermal reactions, particularly in individuals with atopic skin. Additionally, the EWG Skin Deep database highlights 'high' concerns regarding contamination with ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane, which are common impurities in ethoxylated ingredients; EWG VERIFIED products consequently restrict its use without adequate substantiation.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While DISODIUM PPG-2-ISODECETH-7 CARBOXYAMPHODIACETATE offers benefits as a mild cleansing agent, hair conditioner, and formulation enhancer, the absence of a specific CIR review and clinical efficacy data for this exact ingredient, alongside potential impurity concerns, necessitates further investigation before a definitive recommendation.
