PEG-3 TALLOW PROPYLENEDIMONIUM DIMETHOSULFATE.

Optional CAS 93572-63-5 / ANTISTATIC

This quaternary ammonium compound primarily functions to reduce static electricity and provide conditioning effects. Its PEG components also enable it to serve as a versatile solvent and solubilizer for various formulation ingredients.

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a positively charged quaternary ammonium compound, PEG-3 TALLOW PROPYLENEDIMONIUM DIMETHOSULFATE interacts electrostatically with the negatively charged surfaces of skin and hair. This deposition provides conditioning benefits and effectively neutralizes static charges. The polyethylene glycol (PEG) portions of the molecule further contribute to its functionality, acting as humectants, emulsifiers, emollients, and general solvents within formulations, aiding in the dissolution of active ingredients, fragrances, and colorants.

Safety

Safety Profile

CIR Status
Safe with restrictions
Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) Expert Panel has assessed the safety of related PEG-tallow amine derivatives, concluding they are safe for cosmetic use when formulated to be non-irritating. This caveat reflects their inherent surface-active properties which, if not properly managed, could lead to irritation. Acute oral and dermal toxicity studies generally show low toxicity, with minimal irritation to intact skin. While sensitization and nephrotoxicity were observed in burn patients treated with PEG-based creams, these effects were not replicated in studies involving intact skin. No specific FDA or SCCS regulatory status for PEG-3 TALLOW PROPYLENEDIMONIUM DIMETHOSULFATE has been identified.

Verdict

Optional

PEG-3 TALLOW PROPYLENEDIMONIUM DIMETHOSULFATE is considered safe when formulated to be non-irritating, providing conditioning, antistatic, and solubilizing benefits primarily for specific textural or formulation stability goals rather than direct primary skin benefits.
