About

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

This quaternary ammonium compound is an amide-type conditioning agent derived from erucic acid. It is used for its antistatic and softening properties in hair and skin care products. It is not listed in EU Annexes II or III under Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, indicating it is permitted for cosmetic use. The structural similarity to other permitted erucamide derivatives suggests a favourable safety profile at typical use concentrations.
