"Lauryl" refers to lauryl alcohol (1-dodecanol) as the alcoholic component. "Isoquinolinium" means "isoquinoline", the structural isomer of quinoline. Saccharinates means the salts/esters of saccharic acid.
Lauryl isoquinolinium saccharinate is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance has antimicrobial effects (helps to inhibit the growth of microorganisms on the skin). Furthermore it acts as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electric charge on the surface, e.g. of hair) and as a surfactant (washing-active substance).
