About
Dioleoylamidoethyl Hydroxyethylmonium Methosulfate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This is a di-oleoyl quaternary ammonium salt (dioleoyl amide) used as an antistatic conditioning agent and surfactant in rinse-off hair care products. While structurally similar to well-established conditioning ingredients, it carries potential for mild skin and eye irritation. It is not listed on any EU restriction annexes but falls under the general safety evaluation requirements for cationic surfactants in rinse-off products.
Skin benefits
- Antistatic conditioning agent for hair
- Provides softness and manageability to hair fibers
Known concerns
- Potential mild skin irritation (cationic surfactant)
- Eye irritation possible
- Primarily for rinse-off use only
