Description
SpecKare®DSC – Distearyldimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt and cationic surfactant skin care ingredient used in products as a cleansing and emulsion stabilizing agent. This multi functional ingredient is derived naturally from vegetable sources
Cationic surfactants like distearyldimonium chloride differ from other groups of surfactants in that the end of their water-attracted (hydrophilic) tail possesses an ion that holds a positive charge. This positive charge helps cationic surfactants cleanse away microorganisms on skin’s surface.
Beyond cleansing, distearyldimonium chloride also helps stabilize oil-in-water emulsions so that the oil and water-based phases do not separate in their packaging when we attempt to apply them to the face and body. It’s popular as an emulsifying agent in lotions, where it’s said to also impart a smooth feel upon skin.
In addition to skin care, this ingredient is also used in hair care products as an anti-static and conditioning ingredient and to improve wet and dry combing. It also reduces curl droop (for a better hold of hairstyles)
As a raw material, distearyldimonium chloride appears as a white to off-white powder, insoluble in water, but soluble in polyols.
