Accepted Answer

Hello, and thank you for your question.

The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) includes Triethanolamine (TEA), Diethanolamine (DEA) and Ethanolamine on its list of allowed indirect food additives. These ingredients may be used in adhesives in contact with food and to assist in the washing or peeling of fruits and vegetables.

The safety of Triethanolamine, Diethanolamine and Ethanolamine has been assessed on several occasions by the U.S. Cosmetic Ingredient Reviewhttp://www.cosmeticsinfo.org/sites/all/modules/contrib/lexicon/imgs/lexicon.gif (CIR) Expert Panel.

In 1983, the CIR Expert Panel evaluated the scientific data and concluded that TEA, DEA and Ethanolamine were safe for use in cosmetics and personal care products designed for discontinuous, brief use followed by thorough rinsing from the surface of the skin.  In products intended for prolonged contact with the skin, the concentration of TEA and DEA should not exceed 5%. Ethanolamine should be used only in rinse-off products.  Triethanolamine and Diethanolamine should not be used in products containing N-nitrosating agents to prevent the formation of possibly carcinogenic nitrosamines.

In 2010, the Expert Panel decided to reopen that safety assessment as three separate reports and to include additional related ingredients in each of the new reviews.  Their review of DEA and 16 of its salts was published in 2011.  The CIR Expert Panel concluded that diethanolamine and the 16 related salts are safe in the present practices of use and concentration when formulated to be non-irritating. They cautioned that ingredients should not be used in cosmetic products in which N-nitroso compounds can be formed.

In 2012, the CIR Expert Panel issued its review of Ethanolamine and 12 salts of Ethanolamine.  The Panel concluded that Ethanolamine and the related ethanolamine salts are safe in the present practices of use and concentration (rinse-off uses only) when formulated to be non-irritating. They cautioned that ingredients should not be used in cosmetic products in which N-nitroso compounds can be formed.

In 2013, the CIR Expert Panel issued its review of Triethanolamine and 31 related TEA-containing ingredients.  The Panel concluded that Triethanolamine and the related TEA-containing ingredients are safe in the present practices of use and concentration when formulated to be non-irritating. They cautioned that ingredients should not be used in cosmetic products in which N-nitroso compounds can be formed.

TEA concentration in the AbSonic gel is less than 1% (water represents 99%), and the gel itself is not intended to stay on the skin, but rather used as a rinse-off product. Finally, the AbSonic gel does not contain N-nitrosating, which is the chemical that poses problems when interacting with TEA

Question 2

What are the ingredients?

Accepted Answer

Absonic transmission gel is water-based and uses the following ingredients:

Water (99.06%): no life is possible without it!
Carbomer: that's what turns the water into gel. It is safe for the skin and the environment.
TEA: a surfactant, used as antimicrobial and thickener. It also stabilizes the pH.
Love: tons of it!
