Product Description

Cetrimonium Chloride Solution

Product Description

Cetrimonium chloride (CTAC) is a cationic quaternary ammonium salt commonly used as a light conditioning agent in hair care products. In conditioners and cream rinses, it enhances both wet and dry combing while minimizing static electricity. As a cationic compound, CTAC is mainly found in conditioning products rather than shampoos.

This product is a solution with 29–30% active cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride. CTAC also serves as a topical antiseptic and preservative due to its ability to inhibit microorganism growth. Additionally, it functions as a surfactant for cleansing and emulsifying and as a suspending agent.

It is a high-performance cationic surfactant widely used in shampoos, conditioners, and leave-in treatments. INCI Cetrimonium Chloride (30% solution) delivers superior anti-frizz, detangling, and anti-static benefits, leaving hair smoother, softer, and more manageable. Ideal for professional hair products, this cosmetic-grade ingredient enhances hair conditioning, reduces breakage, and improves combability. (CAS 112-02-7)
