Expert Verdict
Amphoteric betaine surfactants are generally mild, but like cocamidopropyl betaine (CAPB), residual amidoamine (DMAPA) from synthesis can cause allergic contact dermatitis; this was named ACDS Allergen of the Year in 2004 for the coco variant. Formulators should ensure high-purity grades with minimal free DMAPA..
