Insufficient Data CAS 61788-92-9 / ANTISTATIC, HAIR CONDITIONING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

Disoydimonium Chloride, also identified as Distearyldimonium chloride, is a cationic surfactant and quaternary ammonium salt. It serves a multifaceted role in formulations, acting as a cleansing agent, an emulsion stabilizer, and providing conditioning and antistatic benefits.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a cationic surfactant, Disoydimonium Chloride utilizes its positive charge to interact with negatively charged surfaces, aiding in the removal of microorganisms from the skin. It is highly effective in stabilizing oil-in-water emulsions, preventing the separation of immiscible phases. Furthermore, its substantive nature allows it to adhere to both skin and hair, imparting conditioning effects and reducing static electricity.
