Name

lauramine oxide

We recommend avoiding

Description

Lauramine oxide acts as a foam booster, emulsifier, and thickening agent in products such as shampoos, body washes, and detergents.

Benefits

Thickens, cleans, lathers.

Considerations

• Nitrosamine Concerns Can form carcinogenic nitrosamines under certain conditions. • Absorbed through the Skin Animal studies found 40% of the lauramine oxide applied to skin was absorbed systemically. • Environmental Concerns Considered to be highly toxic to aquatic systems with long-lasting effects. • Eye Irritation High concentrations can cause eye irritation or damage. • Skin Irritation Can cause skin irritation at higher amounts. • Acute Toxicity Harmful if swallowed in higher amounts.
