Cetrimonium bromide（Cat No.:I004128）is a quaternary ammonium compound widely used as a surfactant, conditioning agent, and antiseptic in personal care and cosmetic products. It functions as a cationic surfactant, helping to reduce static electricity in hair, improve texture, and enhance the spreadability of products. Cetrimonium bromide also has mild antimicrobial properties, making it useful in formulations for skin care and hair care. Additionally, it is employed in laboratory settings as a disinfectant. While generally considered safe for use in low concentrations, it can cause irritation in sensitive individuals or with excessive exposure.
