About
Isostearyl Ethyldimonium Chloride is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Isostearyl ethyldimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt used as a conditioning and antistatic agent in hair and skin formulations. It is not listed in EU Annexes II or III under Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, indicating it is permitted for cosmetic use. The isostearyl group provides a degree of lipophilicity that reduces irritation potential compared to more water-soluble quaternary ammonium compounds. No significant hazards are flagged in available regulatory data.
