About Sodium/Tea-Lauroyl Hydrolyzed Keratin

Sodium/TEA-Lauroyl Hydrolyzed Keratin is a mixture of the sodium and triethanolamine salts of a condensation product consisting of lauric acid chloride and hydrolyzed keratin.[1] In cosmetics, it is used to reduce static electricity that causes hair strands to lift or cling together, to help sebum and impurities rinse away with water, and to smooth and condition hair by reducing tangling and rough feel.[3] It is also used to leave the skin surface soft and smooth and to lower surface tension so ingredients wet, mix, and spread evenly.[3] In Europe, it may be used at up to 2.5% in leave-on products, with no separate maximum concentration specified for rinse-off products. Nitrosamines must also be no more than 50 μg/kg.[2]
