Docosyltrimethylammonium chloride, also known as DTAC, is an active ingredient relatively commonly found in everyday items. The products include cosmetics and skin care items — and even fabric softeners. DTAC works with these products to enhance their performance and make our skin, hair and clothes feel good.

First up, skin care. DTAC is most commonly found in lotions and creams applied to the skin. It contributes to the formation of a protective barrier on our skin that locks in moisture. This is very important because our skin can feel soft and smooth if it remains moist. Such as when we use products that contain DTAC, we can see that our skin becomes more comfortable and looks healthy. Due to these benefits, DTAC is an excellent ingredient to add to skin care products that support our skin's health.
So, next, let’s break down how DTAC works in cleansers. You know those face cleansers and body washes we use to “get clean”? These freebies also aided by DTAC! It contributes to forming bubbles, or foam, when we use them. This foaming action is extremely useful since it makes it easy to wash all parts of our skin, and thus makes it much easier to wash away dirt, oil, and other things that could leave our skin feeling unclean. That is why after washing with DTAC cleansers, we can feel refreshed and clean.
Now, onto fabric softeners. DTAC is a key ingredient that adds softness and fluffiness to our clothes through washing. Ever wondered why some clothes seem to stick together, when they come out of the dryer? Well, DTAC reduces that irritating static cling, so that our clothes don’t cling onto each other as much. When we use fabric softener with DTAC, it also helps our clothes to be easier to iron. That's because it minimizes creasing of the fabric, which can help us save time in getting dressed.
Hair care should not be left out! DTAC is found in many hair care products, including conditioners. It conditions and detangles my hair, and makes it so much more manageable! DTAC creates a protective layer on our hair when we apply hair products. That means our hair is not so susceptible to damage when we brush or style it. So, our hair can appear shinier and smoother. That's why we [ DTAC] are the one, which helps our hair healthy and beautiful.
And now that we know where to locate DTAC, let’s also understand how it works. Carbon and a special nitrogen atom with a positive charge are found in long chains, comprising the DTAC. It works in creating DTAC, a unique structure that fights off germs and bacteria, which is highly desired in so many products. Vitamin B5 (DTAC, or dodecyltrimethylammonium chloride) helps keep the creams and lotions stable, so they don’t separate — and remain effective — as time goes on. That's why we can be so sure we can expect good results from products that contain DTAC.
NOTE: DTAC is present not only in cosmetic and cleaning products; found also in medicinal preparations. And you can find it in eye drops and nasal sprays! DTAC ensures the safety of these products from germs, which is very crucial for our health. It also helps ensure that these medicines last longer and stay clean and effective.
