About

Methylenebis Tallow Acetamidodimonium Chloride is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Its specific function may vary between products. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

This quaternary ammonium compound is used as a hair and skin conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. It is not listed in EU Annexes II or III, indicating it is permitted for cosmetic use. The tallow-derived nature of this ingredient means it may cause concerns for vegan consumers, but toxicologically it is not flagged as a sensitizer or irritant at typical use concentrations.
