Cetrimonium Compounds
Cetrimonium Compounds are a group of quaternary ammonium compounds commonly used in personal care products, particularly in hair conditioners and shampoos. They act as surfactants, helping to reduce surface tension and improve the spreadability of products. These compounds also have conditioning properties, making hair smoother and easier to manage.
In addition to their use in hair care, Cetrimonium Compounds can also serve as antimicrobial agents, helping to preserve the shelf life of cosmetic products. They are generally considered safe for use in cosmetics, but some individuals may experience sensitivity or allergic reactions.
