About
Isostearamidopropyl Pg-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.
A quaternary ammonium salt with an isostearamidopropyl (branched C18) backbone linked to a propyleneglycol-modified dimethyl quaternary ammonium group. The branched isostearyl chain provides improved solubility and reduced propensity for crystallization versus linear stearyl counterparts. Functions as a substantive hair conditioning agent with good affinity for damaged hair sites. No specific EU Annex II or III restriction entries for this compound; general cosmetic safety assessment applies.
