About
Linoleamidopropyl Dimonium Lactate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
Linoleamidopropyl Dimonium Lactate is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from linoleic acid (an essential omega-6 fatty acid), functioning as an antistatic and skin-conditioning agent. The lactate anion is naturally occurring (found in lactic acid) and adds mild moisturizing properties. Quaternary ammonium compounds in this application are well-established in hair care with good safety profiles. While not listed in EU Annex II or III under Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009, caution is warranted as some quaternary ammonium compounds can be irritants at high concentrations.
Skin benefits
- Rich in linoleic acid (omega-6) which supports skin barrier
