Expert Verdict
Limited published safety data in public literature. The guanidine moiety is inherently cationic and may present irritation potential at higher concentrations. As a mixture of C12/C14/C16 chain-length homologues, batch variability in chain-length distribution could affect performance and safety profiles. Combines lauroyl (C12), myristoyl (C14), and palmitoyl (C16) fatty acid chains linked to an aminobutyl guanidine head group, delivered as the acetate salt. The mixed chain-length composition b...
