Expert Verdict

Generally considered safe at typical use levels. As a cationically modified protein hydrolysate, potential allergenicity from keratin-derived peptide fragments exists (particularly relevant for consumers with wool/keratin allergies). The quaternary ammonium modification improves substantivity but may contribute to mild irritation at elevated concentrations. A quaternized keratin derivative where hydrolyzed keratin is reacted with a lauryldimethylammonium hydroxypropyl group, yielding a cation...
