About

A behenyl-based conditioning quaternary ammonium agent that provides excellent hair softness and detangling benefits.

Behenamidopropyl Glycerylhydroxypropyldimonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium conditioning agent derived from behenic acid (C22 fatty acid), offering superior conditioning performance due to its long alkyl chain. It is not listed in EU Annex II or III of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, indicating no prohibitive restrictions. Its large alkyl chain reduces systemic absorption potential, and it is widely regarded as safe in rinse-off hair care formulations at typical use concentrations of 0.1-5%.
