Science

Operating as an esterquat, a biodegradable cationic surfactant, DIOLEOYLAMIDOETHYL HYDROXYETHYLMONIUM METHOSULFATE adheres to negatively charged surfaces of hair and skin. This interaction creates a smooth, protective film, thereby delivering conditioning, smoothing, and anti-static benefits. It also supports 'moisturizing - structure replenishing' processes, enhancing the overall feel and integrity of the treated surface.

Stability

This ingredient maintains stability within a pH range of 3.5 to 7.0. As a yellow liquid prone to precipitation, it requires shaking prior to use. It readily integrates into the water phase, with gentle heat (below 80°C) potentially aiding dissolution. If haziness or separation occurs, homogenization at 35-40°C may be required.


Safety

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Low

While not formally reviewed by CIR or SCCS, PubChem data indicates potential for skin (H315) and eye (H319) irritation in approximately 47.7% of reports. However, it is specifically noted to exhibit lower toxicity and reduced skin irritation compared to conventional quaternary ammonium compounds.
