About

A cationic conditioning agent for skin and hair based on palmitic and myristic acid derivatives with antimicrobial guanidine chemistry.

This ingredient is a blend of C14/C16 fatty acid amidobutyl guanidine acetate salts used as an antistatic and conditioning agent in cosmetics. EU CosIng lists it without specific restrictions; however, the guanidine acetic acid component raises low-level sensitization potential typical of cationic surfactants. Not classified under Annex II or III of EU Regulation 1223/2009.

Skin benefits

  • Conditions and softens skin
  • Provides antistatic properties improving skin feel

Known concerns

  • Potential skin sensitization from quaternary ammonium compounds
  • Eye irritation possible with cationic surfactants
