About

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

Hydroxyethyl laurdimonium chloride (CAS 2271-92-3) is a quaternary ammonium compound used as a conditioning agent in cosmetics. It is not listed in EU Annexes II or III under Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, indicating it is permitted for cosmetic use. The hydroxyethyl substituent improves water solubility while the lauryl chain provides conditioning benefits. At typical use concentrations in rinse-off products, it is not considered a significant irritant or sensitiser.
