Behentrimonium chloride, a quaternary ammonium compound, is commonly included in hair care products due to its conditioning properties. It serves as a detangler, moisturizer, and frizz-reducer in various hair care items such as shampoos and conditioners. This ingredient is renowned for its capacity to soften and fortify hair, enhance texture, and provide moisture. Additionally, it functions as an emulsifier, aiding in the blending of oil-based and water-based components in products, and acts as a preservative to prevent the growth of bacteria and mold. While behentrimonium chloride is generally considered safe for cosmetic use within specified limits, patch testing is still recommended.
