BIS-LAURYL COCAMINOPROPYLAMINE/HDI/PEG-100 COPOLYMER

Description

BIS-LAURYL COCAMINOPROPYLAMINE/HDI/PEG-100 COPOLYMER is a multifunctional polymer used in advanced haircare formulations. This innovative ingredient combines the properties of a conditioning agent, film-former, and viscosity modifier, making it a versatile addition to various hair products.

The copolymer's structure consists of three key components: bis-lauryl cocaminopropylamine, hexamethylene diisocyanate (HDI), and polyethylene glycol (PEG-100). This unique composition allows it to form a protective film on hair strands, enhancing shine and reducing frizz. The polymer's conditioning properties help to improve hair manageability and softness, particularly beneficial for damaged or chemically treated hair.

As a viscosity modifier, it contributes to the texture and stability of hair formulations, ensuring consistent product performance. The ingredient is particularly effective in leave-in conditioners, styling creams, and anti-frizz serums. Its film-forming capabilities also provide a degree of humidity resistance, helping to maintain hairstyles in various environmental conditions.

While generally well-tolerated, individuals with sensitive scalps should perform a patch test before regular use. The ingredient is compatible with a wide range of other haircare components, allowing for versatile formulation options.
