A mild amphoteric cleansing surfactant. Cosmetic safety reviewers concluded that disodium cocoamphodiacetate is safe as used; the original conclusion was reaffirmed on re-review, while the current group reassessment proposes non-sensitising formulation controls. Impurities may contribute to occasional irritation or allergy.
