About

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

Ricinoleamidopropyltrimonium methosulfate is a castor-oil derived quaternary ammonium salt used as a conditioning agent in rinse-off hair care products. It is structurally similar to other permitted cationic surfactants in EU cosmetics. No major hazard signals appear in CosIng database entries; it is not subject to restriction beyond standard preservative requirements. Minor concerns relate to typical quaternary ammonium compound eye irritation potential.
