Quaternium-18 Bentonite

Status

Not listed in the restriction annexes

In brief

Quaternium-18 bentonite is bentonite clay treated with a quaternary ammonium compound, which alters the clay's properties so it disperses in oils rather than water. It's used in cosmetic formulas to thicken and control the texture of oil-based products, helping keep them from separating or running.
