Skin Irrit. 2 (87.4%)；Eye Dam. 1 (12.4%)；Eye Irrit. 2 (75.1%)

Not Classified

Acute toxicity - category 4；Eye irritation - category 2A；Skin irritation - category 2

Ammonium laureth sulfate itself only causes mild irritation. However, it may react to produce nitrosamines, which are believed to be carcinogenic. (L1888, L1890)

Oral (A2880) ; inhalation (A2880) ; dermal (L1889)

Safe in the present practices of use and concentration. Ingredient, concentration, and use information are available in documents discoverable at https://cir-reports.cir-safety.org

While ammonium laureth sulfate itself is not toxic, it is a nitrosating agent. Nitrosating agents may decompose and/or react to cause nitrosamine contamination. Nitrosamines are produced from secondary amines and amides in the presence of nitrite ions and are believed to be carcinogenic. Once in the body, nitrosamines are activated by cytochrome P-450 enzymes. They are then believed to induce their carcinogenic effects by forming DNA adducts at the N- and O-atoms. (L1889, L1890, A2878, A2879, A2880)

Ammonium laureth sulfate can cause mild irritation. (L1888)

Not listed by IARC. Certain nitrosamines are classified by IARC as either probably or possibly carcinogenic to humans (Groups 2A and 2B, respectively). (L135)

Poly(oxyethylene) lauryl ether ammonium sulfate: Does not have an individual approval but may be used under an appropriate group standard

Nitrosamines can enter the body via ingestion, inhalation, or dermal contact. Once in the body, nitrosamines are metabolized by cytochrome P-450 enzymes, which essentially activates them into carcinogens. (A2878, A2879)
