BIS-SOYOYL/RAPESEEDOYL ETHYL HYDROXYETHYLMONIUM METHOSULFATE

Description

BIS-SOYOYL/RAPESEEDOYL ETHYL HYDROXYETHYLMONIUM METHOSULFATE is a quaternary ammonium compound derived from soybean and rapeseed oils. This versatile ingredient functions primarily as a conditioning agent in haircare and skincare formulations. Its molecular structure allows it to form a thin, protective film on hair and skin surfaces, enhancing softness and manageability.

In hair products, it acts as an effective detangler and static reducer, improving combability and overall hair texture. For skincare applications, it provides moisturizing benefits and helps to improve the skin's barrier function. The ingredient is particularly valued for its ability to deliver these conditioning properties without causing excessive buildup or weighing down hair.

BIS-SOYOYL/RAPESEEDOYL ETHYL HYDROXYETHYLMONIUM METHOSULFATE is compatible with a wide range of formulation types, including shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, and body lotions. It performs well in both rinse-off and leave-on products. The ingredient is biodegradable and derived from renewable plant sources, aligning with the growing demand for more sustainable cosmetic ingredients. Its efficacy at low concentrations makes it a cost-effective option for formulators seeking to enhance product performance without compromising on environmental considerations.
