LAURYLAMINE DIPROPYLENEDIAMINE.

Avoid CAS 2372-82-9 / HAIR CONDITIONING, VISCOSITY CONTROLLING

Laurylamine Dipropylenediamine is an amine derivative recognized for its surfactant, antimicrobial, and emulsifying properties. Despite its functional versatility, it is classified as a corrosive and toxic substance, rendering it highly unsuitable for precision skincare applications.

Summary

Surfactant Antimicrobial Bactericide Emulsifier Antistatic Agent Viscosity Controlling Agent Hair Conditioning Agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

This compound primarily functions as a cationic surfactant, reducing surface tension and facilitating the formation of stable emulsions. It exhibits potent antimicrobial (bactericidal) and antiseptic activity. Beyond these core functions, it also acts as an antistatic, lubricating, solubilizing, and viscosity-controlling agent, particularly noted for its hair conditioning capabilities, enhancing combability, softness, shine, and volume.

Dusting Analysis

Not commonly dusted

Due to its corrosive and highly irritating nature, Laurylamine Dipropylenediamine is not an ingredient typically 'dusted' or finely tuned for specific efficacy thresholds in cosmetic applications. Its primary uses are in industrial and cleaning products where its hazard profile is managed with extreme care.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk High

Laurylamine Dipropylenediamine is categorized as corrosive, capable of causing severe skin burns and eye damage (H314). It is also toxic upon ingestion (H301) and may lead to organ damage following prolonged or repeated exposure (H373). It is identified as a potent irritant to both eyes and skin. The European Union determined in 2022 not to approve this substance for biocidal products (e.g., wood preservatives) due to unacceptable risks to human health. No specific SCCS opinion or FDA status for cosmetic application is available. While some industrial and cosmetic formulations have historically utilized it at 0.5% to 5%, these concentrations demand extreme caution due to its inherent corrosive properties and are not indicative of safe cosmetic use.
