Expert Verdict

Quaternary ammonium compounds ("quats") can be irritating at high concentrations, particularly to eyes and mucous membranes. Methosulfate counter-ions are generally considered milder than chloride-based quats. Limited independent published safety data for this specific INCI. A dimonium (diquaternary ammonium) methosulfate salt with ethyl PPG-3 behenate ester chains. The behenic acid (C22) fatty chains provide strong substantivity and conditioning, while the PPG-3 spacer improves solubility an...
