About

Trehalose Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a cosmetic ingredient. Exercise caution due to limited available safety data.

A quaternary ammonium salt of trehalose (a disaccharide from natural sources) used as a skin-conditioning agent and humectant. It shares the same synthetic pathway as other hydroxypropyltrimonium chloride derivatives using 2,3-epoxypropyltrimethylammonium chloride (CAS 3033-77-0). Not subject to EU cosmetic restriction listings. Generally regarded as low toxicity and non-irritating at cosmetic concentrations, though residual manufacturing intermediates should be monitored in formulations.
