BIS-BUTYLOXYAMODIMETHICONE/PEG-60 COPOLYMER

Description

BIS-BUTYLOXYAMODIMETHICONE/PEG-60 COPOLYMER is a specialized silicone-based ingredient used in advanced haircare formulations. This copolymer combines the properties of a modified silicone (bis-butyloxyamodimethicone) with a water-soluble polymer (PEG-60) to create a unique compound with enhanced benefits for hair.

The ingredient functions as a powerful conditioning agent, providing excellent slip and detangling properties to hair products. It forms a lightweight, non-greasy film on the hair shaft, which helps to smooth the cuticle and reduce frizz. The PEG-60 component improves the water solubility of the silicone, allowing for easier rinsing and preventing buildup on the hair.

BIS-BUTYLOXYAMODIMETHICONE/PEG-60 COPOLYMER is particularly effective in leave-in conditioners, serums, and heat-protectant sprays. It offers thermal protection by creating a barrier against heat damage from styling tools. The ingredient also enhances shine and manageability without weighing down the hair.

This copolymer is compatible with a wide range of hair types and is especially beneficial for dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair. It helps to improve the overall appearance and feel of hair, leaving it softer, smoother, and more manageable.
