Products Description of Quaternium-15 CAS#4080-31-3

Quaternium-15 (CAS 51229-78-8)‌, a quaternary ammonium compound, is a widely used ‌preservative and antimicrobial agent‌ in cosmetics, personal care products (e.g., shampoos, lotions), and industrial formulations. It acts by releasing formaldehyde to inhibit microbial growth, ensuring product shelf stability. Recognized for its broad-spectrum efficacy against bacteria, fungi, and yeast, it remains cost-effective but has raised safety concerns due to potential skin sensitization and formaldehyde release (regulated at ≤0.2% in the EU and restricted under Cosmetic Directive 76/768/EEC). Its chemical structure combines a quaternary nitrogen with a chlorallyl group, enabling both cationic surfactant properties and slow-release biocidal action.
