Overview

Distearyldimonium chloride is a cationic surfactant, which just means it is positively charged. This compound is commonly utilized for its anti-static capabilities in the skincare products.

In addition, distearyldimonium chloride works well as an emulsifier, so it can help create emulsion-based products, like lotions, creams, sunscreens, and some serums. It is also frequently used in hair conditioning products because of its ability to soften hair.

This ingredient is supplied as either a powder or a pale yellow pellet and works well in conjunction with fatty alcohols, such as cetearyl alcohol.
