Cocamide MIPA
Surfactant; Foam Booster; Viscosity Agent
Impurities and Nitrosation | CIR's assessment of alkyl amide MIPA ingredients emphasizes manufacturing specifications and avoidance of nitrosating systems because secondary amine impurities can contribute to nitrosamine formation. Irritation is also possible in concentrated surfactant systems.
