Toxicology

Health EffectsQuaternium-10 may react to produce nitrosamines, which are believed to be carcinogenic. (L1890)
Exposure RoutesOral (A2880) ; inhalation (A2880) ; dermal (L1889)
Toxicity Summary · 3 items

The CIR Expert Panel concluded the following ingredients are safe in the present practices of use and concentration described in the safety assessment when formulated to be non-irritating...Steartrimonium Chloride...

Safe for use in cosmetics, with qualifications

While quaternium-10 itself is not toxic, it is a nitrosating agent. Nitrosating agents may decompose and/or react to cause nitrosamine contamination. Nitrosamines are produced from secondary amines and amides in the presence of nitrite ions and are believed to be carcinogenic. Once in the body, nitrosamines are activated by cytochrome P-450 enzymes. They are then believed to induce their carcinogenic effects by forming DNA adducts at the N- and O-atoms. (L1889, L1890, A2878, A2879, A2880)

Carcinogen ClassificationNot listed by IARC. Certain nitrosamines are classified by IARC as either probably or possibly carcinogenic to humans (Groups 2A and 2B, respectively). (L135)

Chemistry & industry

Pharmacology

Metabolism/MetabolitesNitrosamines can enter the body via ingestion, inhalation, or dermal contact. Once in the body, nitrosamines are metabolized by cytochrome P-450 enzymes, which essentially activates them into carcinogens. (A2878, A2879)
