About

A lipid-modified chitosan quaternary ammonium compound that provides emollient-like conditioning with improved skin substantivity.

Chitosan Isostearamide Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a dual-modified chitosan: it is first amidated with isostearic anhydride to introduce lipid character, then quaternized with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride for water solubility and positive charge. The result is a conditioning agent that combines the film-forming properties of chitosan with emollient-like isostearamide characteristics. It is listed in CosIng with conditioning and antistatic functions. The safety profile is favorable with mild irritation potential at high concentrations for susceptible individuals.

Skin benefits

  • Enhanced conditioning with emollient-like feel
  • Film-forming protection
  • Antistatic and sensory improvement
  • Good substantivity to skin and hair

Known concerns

  • Mild irritation potential in sensitive individuals
  • Quaternary ammonium modification requires concentration awareness
