About

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

Dihydrogenated Tallowoylethyl Hydroxyethylmonium Methosulfate is a quaternary ammonium compound where the cationic moiety is derived from hydrogenated tallow (animal fat) fatty acids and ethoxylated ethanol. It functions as an antistatic and conditioning agent, particularly in rinse-off hair conditioner formulations. Under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, quaternary ammonium compounds are subject to restrictions under Annex III; di-hydrogenated tallow derivatives are generally permitted with concentration limits, and this specific substance is not individually restricted, though origin (animal-derived) must comply with TSE regulations.

Skin benefits

  • Antistatic conditioning for hair

Known concerns

  • Animal-derived ingredient — subject to TSE/BSE compliance requirements
  • Some quaternary ammonium compounds restricted in leave-on products under EU Annex III
