Safety score · 0–100

Fine

Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A coconut-derived amide sulfate neutralised with the amino acid arginine — gives milder skin feel than plain SLES with light amino-acid conditioning. Decent eco/sensorial upgrade; standard ethoxylation dioxane-trace caveat applies.
