Name
Sodium Hydroxypropylphosphate Laurylglucoside Crosspolymer
Description
Sodium Hydroxypropylphosphate Laurylglucoside Crosspolymer is a surfactant chemical used to create lather and to clean. Sodium Hydroxypropylphosphate Laurylglucoside Crosspolymer is the crosslinked polymer formed by the reaction of laurylglucoside with 1,3-dichloro-2-propanol, followed by reaction with bis(3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyl)phosphate.
Benefits
Generally considered a gentle cleansing agent.
Considerations
There is very limited data on this ingredient, however, based on its chemical structure and method of manufacturing, it is likely to be safe for cosmetic use. It is not ethoxylated, doesn't appear to have the components for nitrosamine contamination, and chemical structure doesn't appear likely to be an endocrine disruptor. Glucoside surfactants have been shown to cause skin irritation in leave-on products, but are generally non-irritating in rinse-off products.
Synonyms
