Disodium cocoamphodiacetate

Disodium N-2-(N-(2-carboxymethoxyethyl)-N-carboxymethylamino)ethylcocamide Disodium cocoamphodiacetate (DSCADA) is a synthetic amphoteric surfactant routinely used in personal care products.

Biodegradability

A 2008 study suggested high levels of DSCADA (216 mg/L) may be toxic to bacteria in wastewater treatment processes. Results from the 2008 research indicated that DSCADA has limited biodegradability and recalcitrant metabolites may develop.
