Health Impacts: Hypersensitivity reactions and contact sensitization to cocamidopropyl betaine have been reported. The increasing rates of sensitization led to cocamidopropyl betaine being named Allergen of the Year in 2004. Related impurities rendered during the manufacturing process (such as amidoamine and dimethylaminopropylamine) are thought to play a role in allergy effect.
