About

Ethyl Hydroxy Picolinium Lactate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Ethyl hydroxy picolinium lactate contains a quaternary ammonium cation (ethyl picolinium) combined with lactate as the counterion. Quaternary ammonium compounds generally have antimicrobial activity, but this specific derivative has limited published safety data for cosmetic use. The picolinium (pyridinium) structure raises some concern for potential sensitisation, and the compound lacks specific EU regulatory listing or SCCS evaluation.

Skin benefits

  • May provide antimicrobial or preservative-boosting properties

Known concerns

  • Limited independent safety data for cosmetic use
  • Quaternary ammonium structure with potential sensitisation properties
  • No specific EU regulatory listing or SCCS evaluation
  • Possible structure-activity alert for contact allergy
