BIS-ISOBUTYL PEG-14/AMODIMETHICONE COPOLYMER

Description

BIS-ISOBUTYL PEG-14/AMODIMETHICONE COPOLYMER is a specialized silicone-based ingredient used in haircare formulations. This multifunctional polymer combines the properties of PEG-14 and amodimethicone to provide enhanced conditioning and styling benefits for hair.

The copolymer's structure allows it to form a lightweight, flexible film on the hair shaft, offering improved manageability and smoothness without weighing down the hair. It effectively reduces frizz and flyaways by creating a barrier against humidity. The PEG-14 component enhances the copolymer's water solubility, ensuring easy rinsing and preventing buildup on the hair.

BIS-ISOBUTYL PEG-14/AMODIMETHICONE COPOLYMER also aids in detangling and improves combing ease for both wet and dry hair. It provides thermal protection, making it valuable in heat-styling products. The ingredient's film-forming properties help to seal the cuticle, resulting in increased shine and a healthier appearance of the hair.

This copolymer is compatible with a wide range of haircare formulations, including shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, and styling products. It is particularly beneficial for damaged or chemically treated hair, helping to restore smoothness and manageability.
