In personal care
A mild surfactant made by combining coconut-derived fatty acids with amino acid chemistry, placing it in the amphoteric surfactant family alongside ingredients like cocamidopropyl betaine.
Why it’s used
It cleanses and helps other surfactants foam more gently, which is why it appears in baby shampoos, facial cleansers, and other formulas pitched as gentle on skin and eyes.
What the evidence says
We haven’t found a source for this one that you can open and check, so we’re not summarizing the evidence.
Look it up yourself
We would rather point you at the shelf than summarize something you can’t check. These are the same places we search:
- PubChem — what the substance is, chemically — names, synonyms and structure
- PubMed — every paper indexed by the US National Library of Medicine that names it
These are starting points, not our findings — we haven’t run them for you. A substance whose name is also an ordinary word (“Heart”, “Alanine”, “Water”) will return papers that are not about the ingredient at all.
Context
As with most surfactants, mildness and residual impurity levels depend on manufacturing quality rather than the ingredient's basic chemistry; the CIR review covered both rinse-off and leave-on uses.
