Namely
Behentrimonium Chloride is a quaternary ammonium mainly used in cosmetics as an anti-static agent or hair conditioner. It is used for its reasons mainly in hair care. It is forbidden in organic.
In 2010, in a report of opinions, the Scientific Committee for Consumer Safety (CSSC) concluded that "In addition to the fact that quaternary ammonium derivative formulations have an irritating potential, especially when combinations of the compounds concerned The SCCS states that the use of CETRIMONIUM CHLORIDE, STEARTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE and BEHENTRIMONIUM CHLORIDE does not pose a risk to consumer health "when used within the regulated concentration limits (see below).
