GX60 Cetrimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt that serves multiple functions in personal care products, including working as a surfactant/emulsifier that cleanses skin by mixing water with dirt and oil to be rinsed away. This ingredient is most popular in hair care (including hair dyes) where it provides conditioning properties as well as anti-frizz, anti-static, and detangling benefits. It may be plant- or animal-derived or synthetic. Cetrimonium chloride can also be used as part of cosmetic preservative blends and may be used to inhibit unwanted odors from forming within a formula. It is a colorless to pale yellow liquid in raw material form.
