Safety Profile
The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has deemed 'Insufficient Data' for a comprehensive safety assessment of Lauroyl Methyl Beta-Alanine, potentially within the broader category of 'Amino acid alkyl amides'. While it holds a UNII registration with the FDA GSRS, direct, specific safety evaluations are not readily available. Data on related alkyl betaines, such as lauryl betaine, indicate potential dermal irritation at higher concentrations (1% and 10%), though this ingredient is distinct.
