BIS-ISOBUTYL PEG/PPG-20/35/AMODIMETHICONE COPOLYMER

Description

BIS-ISOBUTYL PEG/PPG-20/35/AMODIMETHICONE COPOLYMER is a multifunctional silicone-based ingredient widely used in haircare formulations. This complex polymer combines the properties of silicone with the benefits of polyethylene glycol (PEG) and polypropylene glycol (PPG) to create a versatile compound.

As a hair conditioning agent, it forms a protective film on the hair shaft, providing smoothness, shine, and manageability. The silicone component offers excellent heat protection, reducing damage from styling tools. The PEG/PPG units enhance the copolymer's water solubility, allowing for easier rinsing and preventing build-up on the hair.

This ingredient is particularly effective in leave-in conditioners, serums, and anti-frizz products. It helps to detangle hair, reduce static, and improve overall hair texture. The copolymer's unique structure allows it to penetrate the hair cuticle, providing deep conditioning without weighing down the hair.

In formulations, BIS-ISOBUTYL PEG/PPG-20/35/AMODIMETHICONE COPOLYMER is compatible with a wide range of other ingredients, making it a versatile choice for various haircare products. It is especially beneficial for dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair, helping to restore smoothness and manageability.
