Is Disodium Lauroamphodiacetate a Good Ingredient?
Rated Good for its gentle cleansing, foam stabilization, and synergy with other surfactants, making it a solid choice for sensitive-skin and baby-oriented formulas. It's valued mainly for mildness and versatility rather than any active skin benefit, which keeps it at Good rather than Great.
