SODIUM PEG-6 COCAMIDE CARBOXYLATE.

Insufficient Data / CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

SODIUM PEG-6 COCAMIDE CARBOXYLATE is a synthetic surfactant, partially derived from coconut oil. Its unique structure facilitates effective cleansing, emulsifying, and foaming, positioning it as a potential mild agent for various skincare formulations.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As an anionic surfactant, SODIUM PEG-6 COCAMIDE CARBOXYLATE operates by reducing the surface tension between different phases within a formula, thereby enhancing cleansing efficacy and contributing to stable emulsions. Its carboxylate group typically correlates with a milder interaction profile, allowing it to lift impurities and oils while generating lather.

Stability

Specific stability data for this ingredient is not available. However, general observations for PEG carboxylated compounds suggest they maintain a negative charge below pH 3, with this charge intensifying up to approximately pH 8.

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

A direct review by the CIR Expert Panel for SODIUM PEG-6 COCAMIDE CARBOXYLATE is absent. While structurally related ingredients like PEGs cocamine (amides) are considered safe when formulated to prevent irritation, and Sodium Laureth-6 Carboxylate (a different carboxylate) has low concerns according to EWG, the latter does highlight potential contamination risks from ethylene oxide and 1,4-dioxane due to ethoxylation. Without specific assessment, its precise safety profile and suitability for sensitive populations remain undetermined.

Our Assessment

Verdict

Insufficient Data

Despite its anticipated role as a mild surfactant, the absence of specific clinical studies, CIR review, and comprehensive safety data for SODIUM PEG-6 COCAMIDE CARBOXYLATE necessitates a rating of 'insufficient-data' for definitive assessment.
