COCOYL HYDROXYETHYLIMIDAZOLINIUM PG-CHLORIDE PHOSPHATE

55

Safety score · 0–100

Moderate

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

A phosphate-based quaternary ammonium conditioning agent with antistatic properties, used primarily in hair care formulations.

This imidazolinium-derived quaternary compound functions as an antistatic and conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations, particularly hair care products. It contains a phosphate group and a chlorinated propionate moiety. The presence of quaternary ammonium structures can occasionally cause irritation in sensitive individuals, and the phosphate linkage introduces additional scrutiny under EU environmental regulations. Limited long-term safety data is available; it is not listed in EU Annex II or III restrictions but carries moderate concern due to limited ecotoxicological data and structural alerts.

Skin benefits

  • Antistatic conditioning for hair
  • Improves hair manageability

Known concerns

  • Limited long-term safety data
  • Potential eye irritant
  • Structural alerts for phosphate-containing quats
