CETYLDIMETHYLAMINE HYDROLYZED HEMPSEEDATE

Description

CETYLDIMETHYLAMINE HYDROLYZED HEMPSEEDATE is an innovative hair conditioning agent derived from hemp seed oil. This multifunctional ingredient combines the moisturizing properties of hemp seed with the smoothing effects of a quaternary ammonium compound. The hydrolyzed hemp seed component provides essential fatty acids and proteins that nourish and strengthen hair fibers, while the cetyldimethylamine portion offers excellent detangling and anti-static properties.

This ingredient is particularly effective in leave-in conditioners and hair masks, where it can penetrate the hair shaft to improve elasticity and reduce breakage. It forms a protective film on the hair surface, enhancing shine and manageability without weighing hair down. CETYLDIMETHYLAMINE HYDROLYZED HEMPSEEDATE is suitable for all hair types but is especially beneficial for dry, damaged, or chemically treated hair.

In formulations, it is typically used at concentrations between 1-5%. The ingredient is compatible with most common hair care additives and can be incorporated into both aqueous and emulsion-based products. Its plant-derived nature makes it an attractive option for formulators seeking natural alternatives in hair care products.
