Science

Mechanism of Action

As an amphoteric surfactant, Sodium Stearoamphoacetate operates by significantly reducing the interfacial tension between diverse components in a formula. This action promotes the emulsification of water, oil, and impurities, enabling them to mix and be efficiently rinsed away from the skin or hair surface during cleansing.

Safe as used
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel concluded Sodium Stearoamphoacetate, along with related fatty amphocarboxylates, to be safe for cosmetic use under current industry practices and concentrations. This safety is conditional on formulations being non-sensitizing. The CIR report does not specify a singular maximum concentration but refers to its safety within existing usage patterns. It is also included in the US FDA Voluntary Cosmetic Registration Program (VCRP), and no specific SCCS opinion was identified.
