About

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

Palmitamidobutyl guanidine acetate is a hybrid molecule combining a fatty acid (palmitic) chain with a guanidine moiety, expected to function as a skin-conditioning agent. The acetate counterion is a common cosmetic acidulant. No EU hazard classification or restriction applies, though the novel structure warrants monitoring for potential skin reactivity.
