About

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

This imidazoline-derived surfactant functions as a hair conditioning agent and emulsifier. The EU CosIng database does not list it in the restricted annexes, but its GHS hazard profile (H314: causes severe skin burns, H410: very toxic to aquatic life) warrants caution. It is not permitted in leave-on products in some jurisdictions due to its irritant potential.

Known concerns
