CETEARAMIDOETHYLDIETHONIUM SUCCINOYL HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN

Description

CETEARAMIDOETHYLDIETHONIUM SUCCINOYL HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN is a multifunctional hair conditioning agent derived from soy protein. This complex ingredient combines the properties of a quaternary ammonium compound with hydrolyzed protein to provide superior hair care benefits.

The compound acts as a cationic surfactant, effectively coating hair strands to improve manageability, reduce static, and enhance overall texture. Its protein component, derived from hydrolyzed soy, penetrates the hair shaft to strengthen and repair damaged areas. This dual action helps to reduce breakage and split ends while increasing hair's resilience to mechanical stress.

CETEARAMIDOETHYLDIETHONIUM SUCCINOYL HYDROLYZED SOY PROTEIN is particularly effective in leave-in conditioners, hair masks, and styling products. It excels in detangling wet hair, making combing easier and reducing the risk of breakage during styling. The ingredient also provides a smooth, silky feel to hair without leaving a heavy residue.

In formulations, it is typically used at concentrations between 0.5% to 3%, depending on the desired effect and product type. Its compatibility with various hair types and its ability to improve both the appearance and structural integrity of hair make it a valuable component in professional haircare products.
