PEG-25 DIETHYLMONIUM CHLORIDE.

Insufficient Data / ANTISTATIC, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

PEG-25 DIETHYLMONIUM CHLORIDE functions primarily as an antistatic and surfactant agent within cosmetic formulations. While related polyethylene glycols (PEGs) typically exhibit minimal irritation on intact skin, a significant caution exists regarding its application on compromised or damaged skin due to documented risks of sensitization and nephrotoxicity.

Summary

Antistatic Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This compound exerts its effects by reducing static charges on surfaces and facilitating the uniform dispersion of ingredients, characteristic behaviors of antistatic and surfactant agents in a formula.

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Not reviewed
Sensitization risk Moderate

General polyethylene glycols (PEGs) are observed to be minimally irritating on intact skin in both animal and human studies and did not induce sensitization under these conditions. However, evidence from burn patients treated with PEG-based creams suggests a risk of sensitization and nephrotoxicity when applied to damaged skin, necessitating careful consideration for specific applications.
