DISODIUM STEAROAMPHODIACETATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 69868-14-0 / ANTISTATIC, CLEANSING, HAIR CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - FOAM BOOSTING, SURFACTANT - HYDROTROPE

Disodium Stearoamphodiacetate is an amphoteric surfactant, strategically employed in formulations for its multi-functional properties. It excels in cleansing by facilitating the removal of surface oils and particulate matter, while also enhancing foam stability and acting as an antistatic agent.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient operates as an amphoteric surfactant, meaning it possesses both acidic and basic properties, allowing it to interact effectively with various substances. On the skin, its primary mechanism involves breaking surface tension and enabling water to intermix with hydrophobic oil and dirt particles. This emulsifying action allows these impurities to be easily rinsed away. Beyond cleansing, it contributes to product aesthetics and performance by boosting foam, providing antistatic effects, and acting as a hydrotrope to enhance the solubility of other compounds.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Insufficient Data

While effective as a cleansing and foam-boosting amphoteric surfactant, a definitive Moumoujus rating is currently precluded by the insufficient direct clinical and safety data for Disodium Stearoamphodiacetate itself.
