Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt, a waxy organic compound of yellow color.

Use and benefits of Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride:
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is used as an antistatic agent; it forms a layer on the hair and keeps it untangled.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is also used as an emulsifier.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is found mainly in conditioners and tinctures.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride allows the product to slide evenly over the hair, which facilitates detangling and moisturizing, especially for damaged hair.
Used in many curly black hair products to soften and restore dryness as Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride can penetrate the hair shaft.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride, however, has certain antimicrobial benefits.
The mention without silicone nourishes on our hair shampoo, conditioner or hair mask products, in order to appear more natural.
But Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride, cetrimonium chloride or Docosyltrimethylammonim methosulfate or Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine for the main ones replace them to beautify our hair: these are quaternary ammonium salts (quats) which act (discreetly ...) in place of silicones.

What are quats really, what is the role of these hair cosmetic active ingredients and are they really harmful and bad for the hair?
Description:
Cationic surfactant with anti-static and conditioning effect

What is Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride?
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a waxy solid derived from colza oil.
Colza oil comes from the seeds of Brassica rapa olifera, also called canola or rapeseed, which is part of the mustard plant family.
The plant has signature yellow owers.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt and a straight-chain alkyl trimonium.

What Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride does?
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is an antistatic and hair conditioning agent; it is also an emulsifying agent.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a type of trimonium that makes cationic chains attract to anionic charges in the protein structure of skin and hair, which creates a conditioning effect.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride tends not to dissolve in water, which means it remains on the hair, making it popular in rinse-o hair conditioners.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is present in hundreds of personal care products, including conditioner, hair coloring, moisturizers, bath soaps, mousse and other items.

How Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride made
Making Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride begins by making canola oil.
Canola seeds are heated then pressed via screw presses or expellers.
Solvents are usually added to the remaining "press cake" to extract the remaining oil.
The solvent is later removed from the oil via a steam and heat process.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is then made by quaternizing behenyl dimethylamine with methyl chloride in 30% dipropylene glycol.

Why we use Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride
We use Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride in several of our products as a hair detangler, and it is a much more natural alternative to harsh silicones.
The Cosmetics Ingredient Review has deemed the ingredient safe for use in cosmetics.
Whole Foods has deemed the ingredient acceptable in its body care quality standards.
In addition, Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride (25% in cetearyl alcohol) was reported to be an ocular irritant, though several studies show the ingredient is not a strong skin irritant.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt used as a preservative, antistatic agent, defrizzes, emulsifier and hair conditioning agent.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is primarily used in hair care products such as conditioner, dye and mousse.

Not only conditioning it also acts as a preservative by preventing the growth of bacteria in liquid solutions, and therefore help products to last longer.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is also a surfactant: partly water-soluble and partly oil-soluble, it allows oil and water to become dispersed and give products a good consistency and a gentle cleansing foam.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt, its concentration in cosmetics is highly controlled by state regulations.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is very similar to another conditioning ingredient called cetrimonium chloride.
Indeed, only the number of carbon atoms they contain differs, which slightly changes the feel of the conditioner on the hair when you apply Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride, cetrimonium chloride being very light, almost imperceptible when the hair is still wet, whereas, with Docosyltrimethylammonim.

Why do we use Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride in recipes?
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is an excellent conditioner, helping improve comb-through, reduce static, and soften coarse hair.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is most typically used in cream-type hair conditioners, both leave-in and rinse-out.

A yellow, waxlike organic compound.
Also known as docosyltrimethyl ammonium chloride or BTAC-228.
Acts as an anti-static and conditioning agent.
Its waxy texture also makes it a great defrizzes and emulsifier.
Primarily used in hair care products such as conditioner, dye and mousse.

Properties of Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride
Conditioning and moisturizing hair fluid that adds shine and detangles hair due to Docosyltrimethylammonim and propyltrimonium.
The jojoba protein coats and conditions damaged hair and retain moisture.

What Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride does:

Conditions, detangles, fights static, softens, and helps strengthen hair. Since it's plant-based and not petrochemical-based, it doesn't coat but penetrates the hair shaft for potent conditioning effects.
In some applications, Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride also acts as a preservative.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a cleaning/conditioning agent (known in technical terms as a “cationic quaternary ammonium compound”) made from colza oil obtained from the seeds of Brassica rapa, var. oleifera (oilseed turnip).

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a hair care ingredient used to reduce static and frizzing in hair conditioning products.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is an antistatic ingredient and is also an emulsifying agent, which helps to improve the moisture content of the hair.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a naturally occurring ingredient that is derived from the seeds of the Brassica rapa olifera plant.
The Brassica rapa olifera plant is also more commonly known as canola or rapeseed and is part of the mustard plant family.
The plant has distinctive yellow flowers that you may remember driving past fields of when driving through country areas.

As for the science-y stuff, Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt and a straight chain alkyl trimonium.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is often assessed or categorized with other trimonium ingredients.

What Are The Benefits of Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride?
The main benefits of Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride are its antistatic properties and its mild conditioning or emulsifying properties.

Conditioning
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a mild conditioning agent for both the skin and hair. Conditioning ingredients helps to improve the moisture content of the skin.

Skin conditioning ingredients are often used in moisturizers, lotions, balms, and hair conditioners.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is mostly used in hair care products and also helps to emulsify the product, keeping it a uniform and consistent texture.

Anti-static
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is mainly used for its ability to reduce static electricity that can occur between the hair shafts when they move against each other or against fabrics.

This improves the appearance of the hair, giving it shine, improved volume and can also help to visibly improve the appearance of damaged or chemically treated hair.
Static occurs most often with clean hair as there is no oil or coating on the strand to prevent or limit the rubbing.

How Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride Is Made?
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is derived from canola oil.
In order to obtain Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride, the canola seeds are heated and pressed, then solvents which help to dissolve ingredients are added to extract the ol.
The solvents are later removed from the oil through heating processing.
Once the oil has been extracted Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride can be made by, bare with me here, quaternizing behenyl dimethylamine with methyl chloride in 30% dipropylene glycol.
Essentially it is derived from canola oil which is treated to produce Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride.

Storage & Shelf Life
Stored somewhere cool, dark, and dry, Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride should last at least two years.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is an anti-static ingredient that helps condition the hair.

Not only conditioning it also acts as a preservative by preventing the growth of bacteria in liquid solutions, and therefore help products to last longer.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is also a surfactant: partly water-soluble and partly oil-soluble, Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride allows oil and water to become dispersed and give products a good consistency and a gentle cleansing foam.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt, its concentration in cosmetics is highly controlled by state regulations.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is very similar to another conditioning ingredient called cetrimonium chloride.

Indeed, only the number of carbon atoms they contain differs, which slightly changes the feel of the conditioner on the hair when you apply it.
Cetrimonium chloride being very light, almost imperceptible when the hair is still wet, whereas, with Docosyltrimethylammonim, you can really feel the product in the hair.

Uses:
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a powerful primary emulsifier and can produce stable cationic emulsions even at low inclusion levels.
When used as the only oil phase ingredient and emulsifier in low solids formulations, it facilitates the production of stable cost-effective emulsions without compromising performance standards.
In addition, Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride can emulsify high levels of silicone eg dimethicone, cyclomethicone, materials which can be difficult to incorporate into emulsion systems.
Silicones are typically used in hair conditioning products for their hydrophobicity, as restoring the hair's water repellency after chemical treatments (perming, colouring, relaxing) is an important part of the conditioning process.
Protective silicone skin creams also function on this basis.
By incorporating Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride into silicone systems a pronounced conditioning effect is obtained, enhancing both product performance as well as aesthetics.

WHAT Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride DOES:
Conditions, detangles, fights static, softens, and helps strenghten hair .
Since it’s plant-based and not petrochemical-based, it doesn’t coat but penetrates the hair shaft for potent conditioning effects.
In some applications, it also acts as a preservative.

WHY WE USE Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride:
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a potent conditioner with antistatic and detangling properties, able to restore & rebuild damaged hair (due to colza oil it does not coat but penetrates & substantiates the hair shaft), especially effective for softening coarse hair, with antimicrobial properties.

Substantive to both skin and hair.
Confers excellent detangling benefits, reduce static and improve body and wet/dry combability in hair care applications.
Also produces stable cationic emulsions with skin softening benefits and a pleasant, cushioned afterfeel in skin care application

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is commonly found in cosmetics such as conditioners, hair dye, and mousse, and also in detergents.

Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride (BTC) is a straight-chain alkyltrimonium chloride compound commonly used as an antistatic, hair conditioning, emulsifier, or preservative agent in personal care products.
Although the European Union recently restricted the use of alkyltrimonium chlorides and bromides as preservatives to ⩽0.1%, these compounds have been safely used for many years at ⩽5% in hundreds of cosmetic products for other uses than as a preservative.
In vitro, clinical, and controlled consumer usage tests in barrier-impaired individuals were conducted to determine if whole body, leave-on skin care products containing 1–5% Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride cause dermal irritation or any other skin reaction with use.
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride-containing formulations were predicted to be non-irritants by the EpiDerm® skin irritation test and the bovine corneal opacity and permeability (BCOP)/chorioallantoic membrane vascular assay (CAMVA) ocular irritation test battery.
No evidence of allergic contact dermatitis or cumulative dermal irritation was noted under the exaggerated conditions of human occlusive patch tests.
No clinically assessed or self-reported adverse reactions were noted in adults or children with atopic, eczematous, and/or xerotic skin during two-week and four-week monitored home usage studies.
These results were confirmed by post-marketing data for five body lotions, which showed only 0.69 undesirable effects (mostly skin irritation) reported per million shipped consumer units during 2006–2011; a value consistent with a non-irritating body lotion.
No serious undesirable effects were reported during in-market use of the products.
Therefore, if formulated inappropriate conditions at 1–5%, Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride will not cause dermal irritation or delayed contact sensitization when used in a whole-body, leave-on product.

What is Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride?
Docosyltrimethylammonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt, a waxlike, yellow colored organic compound.

Use & Benefits:
