DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.

Hydrogenated tallowalkonium chloride Substances obtained from hardened beef tallow are used in cosmetic formulations. The substances act as preservatives (inhibit the development of microorganisms in cosmetic products and conserve them), antistatic agents (act antistatically = reduce static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface of skin and hair) and hair conditioning agents (make the hair easy to comb, smooth, soft and shiny and give it volume).

Note(s)This section has been translated automatically.

The framework conditions for preservatives that may be used in cosmetics are defined in the EC Cosmetics Regulation (1223/2009) Annex V.
