Insufficient Data CAS 91723-55-6 / ANTISTATIC, HAIR CONDITIONING

QUATERNIUM-83 is a cationic quaternary ammonium salt primarily utilized in personal care products for its conditioning and antistatic properties. Its mechanism involves interacting with negatively charged skin surfaces, contributing to an enhanced product feel and often found in a variety of cosmetic formulations.

Summary

Conditioning agent Antistatic agent

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a cationic quaternary ammonium salt, QUATERNIUM-83 functions through electrostatic interactions with anionic (negatively charged) surfaces, such as those on hair and skin. This cationic nature allows it to adhere, imparting conditioning benefits and reducing static, thereby enhancing the sensory experience and application of products.

Sensitization risk Low

The Cosmetic Ingredient Review (CIR) has classified QUATERNIUM-83 with 'insufficient data' for a full safety assessment. However, reputable databases such as EWG's Skin Deep indicate low concerns for cancer, allergies, immunotoxicity, and developmental/reproductive toxicity. SkinSAFE considers QUATERNIUM-83 to be 'Irritant Free' and 'Common Preservative Free,' suggesting a low likelihood of irritation and common allergic reactions. Environment Canada also classifies it as not expected to be potentially toxic or harmful. There is currently no direct specific SCCS opinion or FDA cosmetic ingredient status available for QUATERNIUM-83.
