About
Stearamidopropyl Ethyldimonium Ethosulfate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This quaternary ammonium salt is classified H302 (harmful if swallowed) and H318 (causes serious eye damage) under CLP regulation. It is used as an antistatic and conditioning agent in rinse-off and some leave-in hair care products. The compound lacks a CosIng Annex listing but is used in hair care formulations. Eye contact risk is the primary safety concern; proper formulation in non-eye-contact products limits consumer exposure. Systemic toxicity at used concentrations is considered low.
