About

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

Steartrimonium Saccharinate is a quaternary ammonium salt where the saccharinate anion (from saccharin) is paired with a stearyltrimethylammonium cation. Quaternary ammonium compounds are widely used as antistatic and conditioning agents in rinse-off cosmetic products. Some quaternary ammonium compounds are restricted under EU Annex III of Regulation (EC) No 1223/2009 with specific concentration limits; this specific salt is not individually listed, though the quaternary ammonium cation structure warrants monitoring for potential eye and skin irritation at high concentrations.

Skin benefits

  • Provides antistatic and conditioning effects in rinse-off products

Known concerns

  • May cause eye irritation at high concentrations
  • Quaternary ammonium compounds have EU Annex III restrictions for certain applications
