Cetrimonium chloride, or cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), is a topical antiseptic and surfactant. Long-chain quaternary ammonium surfactants, such as cetyltrimethylammonium chloride (CTAC), are generally combined with long-chain fatty alcohols, such as stearyl alcohols, in formulations of hair conditioners and shampoos.[1][2] The cationic surfactant concentration in conditioners is generally of the order of 1–2% and the alcohol concentrations are usually equal to or greater than those of the cationic surfactants. The ternary system, surfactant/fatty alcohol/water, leads to a lamellar structure forming a percolated network giving rise to a gel. [2]

CETRIMONIUM CHLORIDE
Cetrimonium Chloride is a quaternary cationic conditioner. Cetrimonium Chloride has anti-static, anti-frizz & detangling properties. Cetrimonium Chloride can be used with non-ionic and cationic surfactants and most polar solvents. It is an ingredient for multiple hair care applications.

When mixed with water, the product having a molecular weight of 320.002 g/mol either floats or sinks in the water. Cetyltrimethylammonium Chloride (CTAC) is also known by other names like cetrimonium chloride. In the field of speciality chemicals, the product is widely famed as a topical antiseptic and surfactant. Much of its effectiveness stems from its excellent conditioning characteristics, for which the product is used as an ingredient in manufacturing hair shampoos and conditioners. Hair care products formulated using CTAC are known to deeply nourish and hydrate dry and damaged hair and bring back a renewed shine and vigour to lacklustre locks.
Main Features:
This yellowish to clear liquid is also referred to as cetrimonium chlorideIt is a well-known cationic surfactant and antisepticIt is certified for purity and formulated under controlled lab conditionsThe product does not lose its effectiveness for many months
 
What Is Cetrimonium Chloride?
Cetrimonium Chloride, Cetrimonium Bromide and Steartrimonium Chloride are quaternary ammonium salts. In cosmetics and personal care products, these ingredients are used in the formulation of hair conditioners, hair dyes and colors, other hair care products, and in some skin care products.
 
Why is Cetrimonium Chloride used in cosmetics and personal care products?
All three ingredients prevent or inhibit the buildup of static electricity. Cetrimonium Chloride and Cetrimonium Bromide also help to cleanse the skin or to prevent odor by destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and by helping water to mix with oil and dirt so that they can be rinsed away. They also help to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified and help to distribute or to suspend an insoluble solid in a liquid.
 
Scientific of Cetrimonium Chloride
Cetrimonium Chloride and Bromide, and Steartrimonium Chloride, carry a positive charge that attracts them to the slightly negatively charged skin and hair proteins, accounting for their use as antistatics. In addition, Cetrimonium Bromide has the ability to disrupt the surface membranes of microorganisms and has been used in antiseptics.

Cetrimonium Chloride 30% - Cetrimonium Chloride is a cationic quaternary ammonium salt that is used as a light hair conditioning agent. Its use in conditioners and cream rinses improves both wet and dry combing and reduces static electricity. As it is cationic, it is used primarily in conditioning products rather than in shampoos.

Cetrimonium Chloride is a 29 - 30% active solution of cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride.

Cetrimonium Chloride also finds use as a topical antiseptic and a preservative due to its ability to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. It is used as a surfactant (for cleansing and emulsifying) and a suspending agent.

While we've seen this product formulated at 2% in leave on hair products, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review indicates it is Safe as Used with Qualifications, that being its use at up to 0.25% in leave on products. This is due to the potential for it to be a skin irritant at higher amounts.

Recommended Usage Rates:
Rinse off products: 0.25 - 10%
Leave on products: 0.25%
INCI: Cetrimonium Chloride
Shipping Information: Tariff No. 3402120000

California Prop 65 Statement: The following statement is made in order to comply with the California Safe Drinking Water and Toxic Enforcement Act of 1986. This product is not known to the State of California to cause cancer, birth defects or other reproductive harm.

A quaternary ammonium salt or QUAT.
Functions:
Mainly used to prevent static and build-up in the hair. It can also cleanse the skin/hair and eliminate odor by preventing the growth of microorganisms, and by enabling water to mix with dirt and rinse it away. In addition, by reducing the surface tension of other ingredients and working to distribute and suspend insoluble solids in liquid, it helps form emulsions. This ingredient is mainly used in hair products such as hair dye, shampoo/conditioner, styling gel, mousse, detangler, dandruff treatment and relaxer.

What Is Cetrimonium Chloride?
Cetrimonium Chloride, Cetrimonium Bromide and Steartrimonium Chloride are quaternary ammonium salts. In cosmetics and personal care products, these ingredients are used in the formulation of hair conditioners, hair dyes and colors, other hair care products, and in some skin care products.
 
Why is Cetrimonium Chloride used in cosmetics and personal care products?
All three ingredients prevent or inhibit the buildup of static electricity. Cetrimonium Chloride and Cetrimonium Bromide also help to cleanse the skin or to prevent odor by destroying or inhibiting the growth of microorganisms and by helping water to mix with oil and dirt so that they can be rinsed away. They also help to form emulsions by reducing the surface tension of the substances to be emulsified and help to distribute or to suspend an insoluble solid in a liquid.
 
Scientific of Cetrimonium Chloride
Cetrimonium Chloride and Bromide, and Steartrimonium Chloride, carry a positive charge that attracts them to the slightly negatively charged skin and hair proteins, accounting for their use as antistatics. In addition, Cetrimonium Bromide has the ability to disrupt the surface membranes of microorganisms and has been used in antiseptics.

Cetrimonium Chloride 30% - Cetrimonium Chloride is a cationic quaternary ammonium salt that is used as a light hair conditioning agent. Its use in conditioners and cream rinses improves both wet and dry combing and reduces static electricity. As it is cationic, it is used primarily in conditioning products rather than in shampoos.

Cetrimonium chloride is a 29 - 30% active solution of cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride.

Cetrimonium chloride also finds use as a topical antiseptic and a preservative due to its ability to inhibit the growth of microorganisms. It is used as a surfactant (for cleansing and emulsifying) and a suspending agent.

While we've seen this product formulated at 2% in leave on hair products, the Cosmetic Ingredient Review indicates it is Safe as Used with Qualifications, that being its use at up to 0.25% in leave on products. This is due to the potential for it to be a skin irritant at higher amounts.
Recommended Usage Rates:
Rinse off products: 0.25 - 10%
Leave on products: 0.25%
