Derived from EU CosIng regulatory status, PubChem hazard data and published research. How we score.

A propargyl-functional ammonium compound with acetylene bonds, used as a reactive intermediate or preservative component in specialised cosmetic formulations, with limited but monitored safety data.

Bis-Ammoniumpropyl Diglycol Dipropynoate is a specialised organic compound containing propargyl (2-propynyl) ester groups and quaternary ammonium sites. The propynoate (acetylenecarboxylate) functionality gives it reactivity that may be exploited for functional polymerisation or as a preservative-enhancing component. Quaternary ammonium compounds are used as conditioning agents and preservatives. This specific compound is not a common cosmetic ingredient, and its toxicological profile requires ingredient-specific safety data. No specific EU restrictions apply, but a full safety assessment per Regulation 1223/2009 is essential before formulation use.

Known concerns

  • Propargyl/propynoate group - reactive alkynoate compound
  • Limited cosmetic safety data
  • Acetylene compound - potential for polymerisation inhibitor required
