DIMER DILINOLEAMIDOPROPYL PG-DIMONIUM CHLORIDE PHOSPHATE.

Valuable / ANTISTATIC, HAIR CONDITIONING

This advanced phospholipid complex is engineered to replicate the skin's natural lipid structures. It delivers essential linoleic acid from safflower oil, providing deep conditioning and a refined, non-greasy feel to both skin and hair.

Summary

Skin-conditioning agent Hair-conditioning agent Surfactant/Cleansing Emollient

Science

Mechanism of Action

Functioning as a biomimetic phospholipid, this ingredient deposits essential fatty acids, particularly linoleic acid derived from safflower oil, directly onto the skin's surface. Its positive charge facilitates a strong adherence to skin and hair, ensuring sustained conditioning benefits. Beyond its primary role as a conditioning agent, it also acts as a surfactant, enhancing cleansing and boosting foam in formulations.

Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has not specifically assessed 'Linoleamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate,' which is identified as a common variant in searches related to this ingredient. However, available data indicates no known side effects and low overall toxicity. EWG notes low concerns for cancer and reproductive toxicity, and low-to-moderate concerns for allergies. It's crucial to distinguish this from 'Linoleamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate Dimethicone,' which EWG rates as unacceptable due to persistence and potential endocrine disruption. A broader class, 'Dialkyl Dimer Dilinoleates,' has been deemed safe by CIR with minimal irritation. The maximum reported usage concentration is 3.0%.
