About

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

Ricinoleanidopropyltrimonium Chloride is derived from ricinoleic acid (the main fatty acid in castor oil). It is a cationic surfactant used for hair conditioning and antistatic effects. Castor oil derivatives have a long history of use in cosmetics, and this quaternary ammonium compound is not restricted in the EU. The substance's high molecular weight and ionic nature limit dermal absorption, reducing systemic exposure risk. It is typically used in rinse-off hair care products.

  • Hair conditioning and detangling
