STEARAMIDOPROPYL MORPHOLINE.

Insufficient Data CAS 55852-13-6 / ANTISTATIC

Stearamidopropyl Morpholine functions as a conditioning and antistatic agent, primarily recognized for its ability to neutralize electrostatic charges. While its application is most noted in hair care, its fundamental property of charge reduction suggests potential for enhancing the tactile experience of various surfaces, including skin.

Summary

Antistatic Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

Stearamidopropyl Morpholine operates by mitigating electrostatic charges on surfaces. Its action is comparable to that of its lactate derivative, which is understood to modify surface electrical properties to diminish charge accumulation. This efficacy, particularly noted in hair applications, is attributed to a hydrophobic stearic chain that creates a coating, with the morpholine group contributing to enhanced compatibility with the substrate.

Stability

A structurally similar compound, Isostearamidopropyl Morpholine Lactate, has shown robust resistance to hydrolysis within typical cosmetic formulation environments. This suggests that Stearamidopropyl Morpholine likely possesses comparable stability under similar conditions.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Unknown

Stearamidopropyl Morpholine is currently not among the ingredients formally reviewed by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel. However, a related compound, Isostearamidopropyl Morpholine Lactate, was evaluated and deemed safe for rinse-off cosmetic applications, though data was insufficient to confirm its safety in leave-on formulations. It is noteworthy that while its precursor, Morpholine, carries a potential for nitrosamine formation, no N-nitroso impurities were identified in the assessed Isostearamidopropyl Morpholine Lactate.

Verdict

Insufficient Data

Given the absence of direct CIR review for Stearamidopropyl Morpholine and insufficient safety data for its related compound in leave-on skin applications, its definitive utility and safety profile for skincare are currently undetermined.
