About

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

Octyldodecyltrimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt with a long alkyl chain (C18-C20) that provides conditioning and antistatic benefits. It is not listed in EU Annexes II or III under Regulation (EC) 1223/2009, indicating it is permitted for cosmetic use. The longer alkyl chain and trimonium structure generally reduce skin irritation potential compared to simple quaternary ammonium salts. No specific safety concerns are noted in major regulatory databases for this ingredient.
