ETHYLENEDIAMINE/DIMER TALLATE COPOLYMER BIS-HYDROGENATED TALLOW AMIDE

Description

ETHYLENEDIAMINE/DIMER TALLATE COPOLYMER BIS-HYDROGENATED TALLOW AMIDE is a multifunctional ingredient used in various skincare and cosmetic formulations. This complex compound is a copolymer derived from ethylenediamine and dimer tallate, further modified with hydrogenated tallow amide. Its unique chemical structure provides several beneficial properties for skin and hair care products.

The ingredient functions primarily as a film-forming agent, creating a thin, protective layer on the skin or hair surface. This film helps to improve moisture retention, enhance product texture, and provide a smooth, non-greasy feel. Additionally, it acts as an emollient, softening and conditioning the skin and hair.

In skincare formulations, it can improve the spreadability of products and contribute to a more even application. For hair care, it aids in detangling and adds shine without weighing down the hair. The ingredient is also valued for its ability to stabilize emulsions and suspend particles in formulations.

ETHYLENEDIAMINE/DIMER TALLATE COPOLYMER BIS-HYDROGENATED TALLOW AMIDE is generally well-tolerated by most skin types and is often used in products designed for sensitive skin due to its mild nature. It is compatible with a wide range of other cosmetic ingredients, making it versatile for formulators.
