  Posted by ulalabebe on December 14, 2020 at 1:58 pm

  Hi i am currently trying to make a body lotion.
  One of the ingredients is distearyldomonium chloride. This ingredient is not available atm. Is there any replacement for this that is fungal acne safe?

  @ulalabebe That ingredient is a cationic surfactant, which actas as conditioning agent and as mild emulsifier. If your intention is to directly replace it, it can be done by similar dialkyl cationic (like Dicetyldimonium chloride), or a mono alkyl cationic (like Behentrimonium chloride or methosulfate, Cetrimonium chloride, or similar).
