Applications & Uses

Uses

ammonium laureth sulfate is a surfactant with foaming capabilities. It can also serve as an emulsifying agent and is frequently found in skin cleansers. As a member of the ether sulfate group, it is considered less irritating than its lauryl counterpart, ammonium lauryl sulfate.

Green circle - The chemical has been verified to be of low concern based on experimental and modeled data.
Hazard Classes and CategoriesSkin Irrit. 2 (87.4%)Eye Dam. 1 (12.4%)Eye Irrit. 2 (75.1%)Not ClassifiedAcute toxicity - category 4Eye irritation - category 2ASkin irritation - category 2
Health effectsAmmonium laureth sulfate itself only causes mild irritation. However, it may react to produce nitrosamines, which are believed to be carcinogenic. (L1888, L1890)
Exposure routesOral (A2880)inhalation (A2880)dermal (L1889)
Toxicity summarySafe in the present practices of use and concentration. Ingredient, concentration, and use information are available in documents discoverable at https://cir-reports.cir-safety.orgWhile 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)
Signs and SymptomsAmmonium laureth sulfate can cause mild irritation. (L1888)
Carcinogen ClassificationNot listed by IARC. Certain nitrosamines are classified by IARC as either probably or possibly carcinogenic to humans (Groups 2A and 2B, respectively). (L135)
