Expert Verdict
As a tertiary amine, potential for skin sensitization at elevated concentrations. pH-dependent behavior - at low pH it becomes protonated and more substantive but also potentially more irritating. Must be monitored for dimethylamine impurities.. This is the unquaternized precursor to ingredients like Babassuamidopropyltrimonium Chloride and Methosulfate. It becomes cationic at acidic pH, which gives it conditioning properties on hair.
