GX60 Cetrimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt that serves
multiple functions in personal care products, including working as
a surfactant/emulsifier that cleanses skin by mixing water with
dirt and oil to be rinsed away. This ingredient is most popular in
hair care (including hair dyes) where it provides conditioning
properties as well as anti-frizz, anti-static, and detangling
benefits. It may be plant- or animal-derived or synthetic.
Cetrimonium chloride can also be used as part of cosmetic
preservative blends and may be used to inhibit unwanted odors from
forming within a formula. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid
in raw material form.
