About Benzalkonium Cetyl Phosphate

Benzalkonium Cetyl Phosphate is an ester complex mixture obtained by reacting cetyl phosphate with benzalkonium chloride.[1] Its solubility and charge state depend on the components forming the salt and the formula's acidity, which also affects how it interacts with other raw materials. In cosmetics, it is used to inhibit the growth of microorganisms and reduce the prominence of unpleasant odors.[2]
