Ingredients Reviewed

The review scope matters because CIR conclusions often apply to an ingredient family rather than a single INCI name. In this report, the ingredient list includes Diethanolamine and Its Salts.

Safety Conclusion

The conclusion for Diethanolamine and Its Salts should be read as a CIR panel conclusion, not a regulatory limit. CIR assessments summarize expert-panel safety determinations for cosmetic use, while legal status still depends on the jurisdiction and product category.

For use levels, the report gives this concentration context: 1%. That language is the safe-use context shown for this page.

Conditions

Reference Ammonium laureth sulfate; sodium laureth sulfate Safe as used when formulated to be nonirritating 76 Ammonium lauryl sulfate; sodium lauryl sulfate Safe in formulations designed for discontinuous, brief use followed by thorough rinsing from the surface of the skin; in products intended for prolonged contact with skin, concentrations should not exceed 1% 77 Ammonium myreth sulfate; sodium myreth sulfate.

Formulation Reading

For formula review, begin with the exact INCI identity and the ingredient group covered by the CIR assessment. If the material is Diethanolamine and Its Salts, the relevant comparison is whether the intended use aligns with the practices, concentration ranges, and conditions described in the CIR source.

The ingredient hub at Diethanolamine and Its Salts should carry the substance-level profile. This page is the report-level summary, keeping the conclusion, ingredient scope, and use-context language attached to the CIR source rather than treating the conclusion as a universal permission.

Why This Page Exists

CIR reviews are long documents, and the practical answer is usually buried in the conclusion and the table of current practices. This summary keeps those CIR facts in one indexable page for Diethanolamine and Its Salts, with source details retained at the bottom for audit.
