Disodium cocoamphodiacetate (DSCADA) is a synthetic amphoteric surfactant routinely used in personal care products.^[1]

Biodegradability

A 2008 study suggested high levels of DSCADA (>216 mg/L) may be toxic to bacteria in wastewater treatment processes.^[1] Results from the 2008 research indicated that DSCADA has limited biodegradability and recalcitrant metabolites may develop.^[1]
