Regulatory evidence across markets

None of the 13 markets tracked here holds an imported rule under the name LAURAMIDE DEA.

That is a statement about this inventory, not about the law: no imported rule is not evidence that a substance is permitted. A rule may exist under a different name, under a CAS or EC number this glossary entry does not carry, or in a dataset not yet imported.

  • Summary: Under the conditions of these 2-year dermal studies, there was no evidence of carcinogenic activity of lauric acid diethanolamine condensate in male or female F344/N rats administered 50 or 100 mg/kg or in male B6C3F1 mice administered 100 or 200 mg/kg. There was some evidence of carcinogenic activity in female B6C3F1 mice based on increased incidences of hepatocellular neoplasms. These increases were associated with free diethanolamine, which was present as a contaminant of lauric acid diethanolamine condensate.; Dermal administration of lauric acid diethanolamine condensate to rats and mice for 2 years resulted in increased incidences of epidermal and sebaceous gland hyperplasia, hyperkeratosis, chronic inflammation, and parakeratosis at the site of application.; Lauric acid diethanolamine condensate administration also resulted in increased incidences of thyroid gland follicular cell hyperplasia in dosed male mice.

  • First Aid: EYES: First check the victim for contact lenses and remove if present. Flush victim's eyes with water or normal saline solution for 20 to 30 minutes while simultaneously calling a hospital or poison control center. Do not put any ointments, oils, or medication in the victim's eyes without specific instructions from a physician. IMMEDIATELY transport the victim after flushing eyes to a hospital even if no symptoms (such as redness or irritation) develop.; SKIN: IMMEDIATELY flood affected skin with water while removing and isolating all contaminated clothing. Gently wash all affected skin areas thoroughly with soap and water. If symptoms such as redness or irritation develop, IMMEDIATELY call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital for treatment.; INHALATION: IMMEDIATELY leave the contaminated area; take deep breaths of fresh air. If symptoms (such as wheezing, coughing, shortness of breath, or burning in the mouth, throat, or chest) develop, call a physician and be prepared to transport the victim to a hospital. Provide proper respiratory protection to rescuers entering an unknown atmosphere. Whenever possible, Self-Contained Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) shou Source: CAMEO Chemicals

  • Cosmetic Ingredient Review Conclusion: The CIR Expert Panel concluded that the following 33 diethanolamides are safe in the present practices of use and concentration described in this safety assessment when formulated to be non-irritating and when the levels of free diethanolamine in the diethanolamides do not exceed the present practices of use and concentration of diethanolamine itself.

  • Cosmetic Ingredient Review Finding(s): Safe for use in cosmetics, with qualifications Source: Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR)
  • Environmental Bioconcentration: Based upon an estimated water solubility of 226 mg/l(1), the BCF of N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl)lauramide can be estimated to be approximately 29 from a regression-derived equation(1). Based on this BCF value, bioconcentration is not expected to be an important fate process(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: TERRESTRIAL FATE: When dissolved in aqueous solutions, N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl)lauramide will have soil mobility ranging from medium to high(3) based on estimated Koc values ranging from 52 to 221(1,2). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: AQUATIC FATE: N,N-Di(2-hydroxyethyl)lauramide is essentially nonvolatile from water based upon an estimated Henry's Law constant of 2.16X10-12 atm cu m/mol(1,2,SRC). In natural river water, 98% of N,N-di(2-hydroxyethyl)lauramide was biodegraded in 6 days (20 mg/l)(3). Aquatic bioconcentration and adsorption to sediment are not expected to be important fate processes(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
  • Environmental Fate: ATMOSPHERIC FATE: Based on an estimated vapor pressure of approximately 6.7X10-9 mm Hg at 25 °C(1), N,N-di(2- hydroxyethyl)lauramide will exist primarily in the particulate phase in the ambient atmosphere(2). In the vapor phase, it will degrade in the ambient atmosphere by reaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals with an estimated half-life of 8 hrs(3). Physical removal of particulate N,N-di(2- hydroxyethyl)lauramide from air is likely to occur through wet and dry deposition(SRC). Source: Hazardous Substances Data Bank (HSDB)
