About
Lauramidopropyl Acetamidodimonium Chloride is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This is a dual-cationic quaternary ammonium compound combining lauramidopropyl dimethylamine and an acetamido moiety. The acetamido group increases substantivity to damaged skin and hair, while the quaternary ammonium provides anti-static and conditioning effects. No GHS hazard statements exist for this substance, and it is not listed in EU Annex restrictions. As a surfactant-derived conditioning agent it is well tolerated at normal use concentrations, though as with all quats it should be kept out of the eyes.
Skin benefits
- Skin and hair conditioning
- Anti-static smoothing effect
- Substantive deposition for damaged-skin repair
Known concerns
- Eye contact should be minimised
- Potential for build-up with overuse in leave-on products
