About

A cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This quaternary ammonium compound bears the hazard classifications H301 (toxic if swallowed), H311 (toxic in contact with skin), and H331 (toxic if inhaled), with the signal word 'Danger'. These acute toxicity classifications make it entirely unsuitable for inclusion in cosmetic products, which are designed for dermal application. Under EU Regulation 1223/2009, substances with such acute toxicity profiles would not be permitted in cosmetic formulations, and this ingredient does not appear in any authorized positive list for cosmetics in the EU.

Known concerns

  • H301 — Toxic if swallowed (acute oral toxicity)
  • H311 — Toxic in contact with skin (acute dermal toxicity)
  • H331 — Toxic if inhaled (acute inhalation toxicity)
  • Signal word: Danger
  • Not authorized for cosmetic use in the EU
