Poor Cosmetic Ingredient

DEA‑Lauraminopropionate

INCI: DEA-LAURAMINOPROPIONATE

CAS Number
Not clearly standardized in public inventories; CIR treats this material under the DEA salts group without assigning a unique CAS in the public summary; CAS therefore not reliably established for CPSR use (data gap).
Function
Surfactant, foam booster, possible conditioning agent; similar use pattern to other DEA-containing surfactants.
Safety Rating
POOR

Regulatory Status

🇪🇺 EU Status prohibited
🇺🇸 US Status permitted
US Notes CIR specifically concluded that data were insufficient to determine safety of DEA-Lauraminopropionate under intended conditions of use, in contrast to other DEA salts and amides. FDA has no explicit monograph restriction but general DEA concerns apply.
