About

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

Lauramidobutyl guanidine HCl is a guanidine derivative with a lauric acid amide moiety, used for its antimicrobial and conditioning properties. Cationic guanidine compounds have documented sensitization potential, and the 'guanidine' structural class has been associated with contact allergy in occupational contexts. Use concentrations in cosmetic leave-on products should be carefully controlled.
