Science
Mechanism of Action
This ingredient operates as an amphoteric surfactant, distinguished by its unique 'Gemini-type' chemical structure. This structure enables it to act as a hydrogelator, forming a three-dimensional network of nanofibers within a precise pH range of 5.0-6.5. In cleansing formulations, it effectively stabilizes foam structure, accelerating lather speed and augmenting volume. On the skin and hair, it delivers a characteristic silky smoothness by maintaining optimal conditioning.

Stability
Optimal hydrogel formation via a three-dimensional nanofiber network is observed specifically around pH 6.0, or generally between pH 5.0 and 6.5. The raw material AMISAFE® LL-DS-22, containing 10% Disodium Sebacoyl Bis-Lauramidolysine in 90% Aqua, demonstrates this property.
Safety
Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not formally assessed Disodium Sebacoyl Bis-Lauramidolysine. However, it is generally considered non-irritating, with SkinSAFE identifying it as 'Irritant Free', 'Teen SAFE', 'Lip SAFE', 'Baby SAFE', and 'Eyelid SAFE', indicating a broad safety profile. A minimal potential for sensitivity may exist for individuals with known peptide allergies or extremely sensitive skin. Paula's Choice suggests that while generally well-tolerated, the risk of irritation could increase when combined with other potentially problematic ingredients.
