SODIUM TALLAMPHOPROPIONATE.

Insufficient Data CAS 68991-88-8 / ANTISTATIC, CLEANSING, FOAMING, HAIR CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

Sodium Tallamphopropionate is an amphoteric surfactant primarily utilized in cosmetic and personal care products for its antistatic, cleansing, foaming, and hair conditioning properties. Although it has not been directly evaluated by the CIR Expert Panel, similar ingredients have demonstrated safety in common applications, with related amphoacetates showing potential for irritation mainly at elevated concentrations. This compound is water-soluble, making it suitable for aqueous formulations.

Summary

Antistatic Cleansing Foaming Hair Conditioning Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

Operating as an amphoteric surfactant, Sodium Tallamphopropionate effectively reduces surface tension between different phases. This fundamental action enables it to function as a cleansing agent by assisting in the emulsification and removal of oils and dirt, as a foaming agent to generate lather, and as an antistatic and hair conditioning agent by neutralizing electrostatic charges and forming a protective film.

Sodium Tallamphopropionate itself has not been directly reviewed by the CIR Expert Panel. However, the Panel found structurally similar ingredients, such as Tall Oil Acid, ammonium tallate, potassium tallate, and sodium tallate, to be safe cosmetic ingredients in their given practices of use and concentration. Some related fatty amphocarboxylates (e.g., Sodium Lauroamphoacetate) showed potential for irritation at higher concentrations in in vitro and rabbit studies, but were non-irritating or mildly irritating at lower, typical use concentrations or in human patch tests.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

As a functional surfactant for cleansing and foaming, Sodium Tallamphopropionate performs foundational roles in cosmetic formulations, but direct safety and skin compatibility data for this specific ingredient remain limited, warranting cautious consideration for precision skincare applications.
