Cetrimonium Bromide

Cetrimonium Bromide Description

Centrimonium bromide is an organic salt used as a surfactant in cosmetics. That means it helps water mix with oil and dirt so they will more easily rinse from skin. In hair care products, it also works as an antistatic agent.

Usage rates for cetrimonium bromide in cosmetics range from 0.1-3%. It has been ruled safe as used in skin care products by the independent Cosmetic Ingredient Review.
