What does this ingredient do in an antiperspirant?
CosIng lists Palmitamidopropyltrimonium Chloride with the functions antistatic and hair conditioning.
Part of a system, not a label in isolation
In deodorants and antiperspirants it is an auxiliary ingredient for care and the feel of the formula. It does not reduce sweating or remove odour.
Palmitamidopropyltrimonium Chloride is not listed in the restrictive annexes of EU Regulation 1223/2009; the safety assessment applies to the finished formula.
Tolerance depends on the whole formula; a reaction on irritated skin is possible.
Palmitamidopropyltrimonium Chloride is not the same as quaternary ammonium preservatives such as Benzalkonium Chloride: CosIng lists only conditioning functions for this ingredient.
