Science
Mechanism of Action
As a member of the amine oxide class of surfactants, Isostearamidopropylamine Oxide functions by lowering the surface tension of liquids. This action facilitates the emulsification of oil and water-based substances, enabling effective removal of impurities from the skin or hair. It also contributes to foam generation and can offer conditioning benefits.

Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically assessed Isostearamidopropylamine Oxide. However, similar amine oxides, such as Cocamidopropylamine Oxide, have been deemed safe in rinse-off products at concentrations up to 4.0%, with insufficient data for leave-on applications. No specific safety opinion from the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) or FDA status for this ingredient has been identified.
