⚠️Warnings

Watch for skin or eye irritation — some studies report limited irritation (see: "Comparative studies on the ocular and dermal irritation potential of surfactants (2007-05-01)" and "Aminoethylethanolamine: a new allergen in cosmetics? (2001-09-01)"). There are also impurity/contamination concerns tied to aminoethylethanolamine reported in the literature; if you have chemical sensitivities or known allergies, choose brands that disclose purity testing or that provide safety data. Regulatory/chemical agency notes also report limited eye irritation (see: European Chemicals Agency).

Safety Risk Labels

This ingredient has the following documented risks:

Irritant: Lab studies and a European chemical agency report show this surfactant can cause mild skin and eye irritation in some people. That means it may cause redness, stinging, or tearing, especially on very sensitive baby skin or near the eyes.
Immune system: There are contamination worries: a published report found an impurity (aminoethylethanolamine) linked to allergic reactions in cosmetics. That impurity can trigger sensitization or allergic responses in some users.
Banned: A major product verification program restricts use of this ingredient in verified products unless manufacturers provide strong safety data. This is a regulatory/market restriction meant to limit exposure until safety is shown.
