About

A coconut-derived conditioning agent that helps soften hair and skin while providing mild antimicrobial benefits.

This quaternary ammonium compound is derived from coconut fatty acids and functions primarily as a hair and skin conditioning agent. It carries a positive charge that allows it to adhere to negatively charged surfaces like hair and skin. It is not subject to EU restriction under the Cosmetics Regulation Annexes II–IV, though standard manufacturing quality controls apply.

Skin benefits

  • Conditions and softens hair strands
  • Provides antistatic properties
  • Improves manageability of hair

Known concerns

  • Can be a skin sensitizer in rare cases
  • Contains residual coconut fatty acids that may rarely cause irritation
