Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)

Disodium Cocamphodiacetate, also known by the acronym DSCADA, is an ingredient that is commonly used in the cosmetics industry. It is an organic compound that is derived from coconut oil and is known for its cleansing and conditioning properties. This means that it can gently remove dirt and impurities without harshly irritating the surface of the skin.

DSCADA could be described as a versatile ingredient in almost all types of beauty products. Its wide range of uses includes skin, body and hair care products. Thus, we regularly encounter Disodium Cocamphodiacetate in various cleansing and make-up removing foams, shower gels, shampoos, conditioners, but also in bath foams or soaps. It is also important in sensitive skin care and products for children, where it is widely used thanks to its gentle washing properties. Despite its complex name, Disodium Cocamphodiacetate is therefore a relatively common and harmless ingredient in many cosmetic products.
