DI-C14-15 alkyl dimonium chloride is chemically a mixture of different, synthetically produced di-esters (DI= acroynm for the twofold ester) of C14-15 aliphatic alcohols (alkanols) and a polyoxyethylene ether of synthetic fatty alcohols (pareth). The C numbering "C n-nx" preceding the ester designation (alkyl fumarate) indicates the number or range of alkyl (carbon) chain lengths. In the di-ester "DI-C14-15 alkyl dimonium chloride", the alkyl chain length consists of 14-15 C atoms. The di-ester acts as a skin care agent in cosmetic products.
