About
Stearamidopropyl Trimonium Methosulfate is a cosmetic ingredient used in product formulations. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.
This quaternary ammonium compound functions as an antistatic and conditioning agent in cosmetic formulations. In the EU, quaternary ammonium compounds are subject to general restrictions under Annex III of the Cosmetics Regulation due to their potential for skin sensitisation and eye irritation. The ingredient's hazard profile (H318 eye damage, H400/H410 aquatic toxicity, H302 acute toxicity) contributes to a moderate safety concern in leave-on applications.
