Ingredient

Cocamidopropyl Hydroxysultaine

Neutral in 3 Flagged in 1

Scout's take

Coconut-derived amphoteric surfactant. Gentler than its cousin cocamidopropyl betaine but synthesised from the same dimethylaminopropylamine pathway, so impurities (DMAPA, amidoamine) can drive contact dermatitis in sensitive users.

More from Scout's analyses

Mild surfactant. Considered acceptable but in intimate-care can disrupt natural mucosal pH/microbiome.
