About

Lauroyl Pg-Trimonium 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 C12 (lauroyl) fatty acid derived quaternary ammonium salt with a propyleneglycol-linked trimonium group. The shorter saturated chain (vs. C16-C22 counterparts) confers higher water solubility and faster rinsability, but also correlates with elevated irritancy potential at concentrated levels. Classified with GHS hazard statements H315 (skin irritation) and H318 (serious eye damage) per CLP Regulation. These hazard classifications apply to the concentrated ingredient; dilution in finished formulations significantly reduces risk. No specific EU Annex restriction identified for this compound.

Skin benefits

  • Effective conditioning at low concentrations
  • Good anti-static performance
  • Improves combability

Known concerns

  • H315 skin irritant - causes redness and irritation
  • H318 serious eye damage risk - causes irreversible eye injury
  • More irritating than longer-chain quaternary conditioning agents
  • Dilution required in finished products
