About
Dibehenoylethyl Dimonium Chloride is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Dibehenoylethyl Dimonium Chloride is the chloride salt of a quaternary ammonium cation derived from behenic acid (C22) and diethylaminoethanol. It functions as an antistatic and hair conditioning agent. The long-chain (C22) fatty acid moiety reduces skin penetration compared to shorter-chain quaternary ammonium compounds, resulting in a favourable safety profile. This substance is not individually restricted in EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 Annex III, indicating acceptable safety at normal cosmetic use levels.
