About

Lapyrium Chloride is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

Lapyrium chloride is a cationic surfactant once used in cosmetic hair-care formulations for its antistatic properties. It is not currently listed in EU cosmetic regulation Annexes II–VI. While structurally related to other approved ammonium compounds, it has been largely replaced in modern formulations due to potential irritation concerns.
