Expert Verdict
Generally considered mild; as with all MIPA-based ingredients, nitrosamine contamination must be controlled. Should not be combined with nitrosating agents in formulations. Monoisopropanolamine salt of myristic acid. Acts as both an emulsifier and surfactant, improving foam quality by increasing volume, structure, and stability
