DIMETHYL HYDROGENATED TALLOWAMINE.

Insufficient Data CAS 61788-95-2 / ANTISTATIC, EMULSION STABILISING, HAIR CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - EMULSIFYING

DIMETHYL HYDROGENATED TALLOWAMINE serves as a multi-functional ingredient in cosmetic formulations, primarily acting as an emulsifier to blend oil and water. It also functions as an emulsion stabilizer, maintaining product consistency, and provides antistatic properties to reduce static electricity.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a cationic surfactant, DIMETHYL HYDROGENATED TALLOWAMINE facilitates the uniform mixing of otherwise immiscible liquids, such as oil and water, within a formulation, thereby creating and stabilizing emulsions. Its inherent antistatic characteristics further contribute to reducing static buildup on surfaces.

Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Moderate

No direct Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) safety assessment has been published for DIMETHYL HYDROGENATED TALLOWAMINE. Similarly, the Scientific Committee on Consumer Safety (SCCS) has not issued an opinion specifically on this ingredient. While the U.S. FDA does not pre-approve cosmetic ingredients, it is notable that a closely related compound, Hydrogenated Tallow Amine (a primary amine), is recognized as a skin and severe eye irritant, capable of causing dermatitis. This suggests a potential for irritation with this class of ingredients, warranting caution despite the specific ingredient lacking direct review.
