Safety Profile
Ginseng Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride has not undergone specific safety assessments by the Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel or the SCCS. Its toxicity level is currently listed as undetermined. It's important to distinguish this ingredient from Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, which CIR has reviewed and deemed safe, and from ginseng root extract, which has GRAS status for food use, as these do not directly apply to this specific cosmetic derivative.
