SODIUM PEG-4 LAURAMIDE SULFATE.

Insufficient Data / ANTISTATIC, CLEANSING, FOAMING, HAIR CONDITIONING

SODIUM PEG-4 LAURAMIDE SULFATE is an ethoxylated surfactant primarily employed for its cleansing capabilities. It effectively reduces surface tension in formulations, promoting the emulsification of water with oils and impurities. Beyond cleansing, it also provides foaming, antistatic, and hair conditioning benefits.

Summary

Cleansing Surfactant Foaming Hair Conditioning Antistatic

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions as a surfactant by significantly lowering the surface tension within a formulation, enabling water to thoroughly interact with and solubilize oily components and debris, thereby facilitating effective cleansing. Its molecular structure also contributes to foam generation, imparts antistatic properties to hair, and aids in conditioning.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not conducted a direct safety assessment for SODIUM PEG-4 LAURAMIDE SULFATE. However, related PEG dilaurate and PEG laurate compounds have been deemed safe for cosmetic use at concentrations up to 25%. The FDA does not pre-approve cosmetic ingredients. As an ethoxylated ingredient, there is a potential for trace amounts of 1,4-dioxane, a by-product of the manufacturing process, which is typically controlled through purification.
