Harm score: 2 (Derivatives of natural substances)

Pine Amidopropyl Betaine, also known as 2-[3-(dodecanoylamino)propyl-dimethylazaniumyl]acetate, is a chemical substance considered a synthetic ingredient that is commonly used in cosmetic and personal cleansing products. It is a surfactant, which means that it helps to reduce the surface tension of water, thereby allowing better mixing with oils and grease. In this way, Pine Amidopropyl Betaine helps remove dirt and oils from skin and hair.

Pine Amidopropyl Betaine is often used in a range of skin and hair care products such as shampoos, conditioners, shower gels, intimate care soaps and make-up removers. Its presence in these products ensures their mild foaming and cleansing abilities. In addition, it also improves the consistency of the products and contributes to their emulsifying properties. It is also often used in combination with other surfactants to achieve an optimal cleaning effect.
