Mechanism of Action
On the skin, this compound contributes to moisturization by establishing a protective barrier. Within a formulation, it acts as a surfactant-emulsifying agent, enabling the stable combination of oil and water components. Furthermore, it precisely controls product consistency by modifying its viscosity.

Safety
Safety Profile
Direct CIR assessment for ETHYLENE DIHYDROGENATED TALLOWAMIDE is currently unavailable. However, the CIR Expert Panel has reviewed related categories; ethanolamides are considered safe when formulated to be non-irritating and free from N-nitroso compound formation, while for alkoxylated fatty amides, robust procedures are advised to mitigate 1,4-dioxane impurities.
