About

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

Dodecyltriphenylphosphonium Bromide is a quaternary phosphonium salt where three phenyl groups and one dodecyl chain are attached to phosphorus. It carries GHS hazard classifications H315 (causes skin irritation), H319 (causes serious eye irritation), and H335 (may cause respiratory irritation). Under EU Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 Annex III, substances with significant irritant profiles may be subject to concentration restrictions in cosmetic products. The phosphonium structure is less common than ammonium in cosmetics, and its irritant hazard profile limits its use concentration.

Known concerns

  • H315: causes skin irritation
  • H319: causes serious eye irritation
  • H335: may cause respiratory irritation
  • Phosphonium salts subject to potential EU Annex III restrictions due to irritant classification
