About

Dioleoyl Edetolmonium Methosulfate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This is a quaternary ammonium compound (quaternary ammonium methosulfate) functionalized with two oleic acid chains and an edetol (ethylene diamine tetraol) backbone. Quaternary ammonium compounds are widely used as conditioning and antistatic agents in cosmetics. The edetol moiety provides chelating properties. Common concerns for quaternary ammonium compounds include potential for skin sensitization and eye irritation at high concentrations. Not listed in EU CosIng Annex II (banned) or Annex III (restricted). The di-oleoyl (C18:1) chains suggest good skin compatibility compared to shorter-chain alkyl quaternary ammonium compounds.

Skin benefits

  • Provides softness in formulations
  • Chelating properties from edetol moiety

Known concerns

  • Potential skin sensitization in susceptible individuals
