About

A sorbitan-derivative salt combining guanidinohexanoate with trifluoroacetate, used as a conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations.

Sorbitan Hexa-Guanidinohexanoate Trifluoroacetate is a sorbitol-derived amphiphilic molecule functionalized with multiple guanidino groups; the trifluoroacetate counterion may enhance skin penetration but also raises mild sensitization concerns at high concentrations. EU cosmetics do not specifically restrict this ingredient, though it is not a registered fragrance allergen.
