LAURDIMONIUM HYDROXYPROPYL HYDROLYZED JOJOBA PROTEIN

Description

Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Jojoba Protein is an innovative quaternary ammonium compound derived from jojoba protein. This multifunctional ingredient combines the conditioning properties of a cationic surfactant with the nourishing benefits of hydrolyzed jojoba protein. Its unique structure allows it to adhere effectively to hair and skin surfaces, providing long-lasting moisturization and protection.

The compound's cationic nature enables it to neutralize negative charges on hair and skin, reducing static and improving manageability. The hydrolyzed jojoba protein component delivers amino acids and peptides that can penetrate the hair shaft and strengthen the cuticle. On the skin, it forms a protective film that helps retain moisture and enhance barrier function.

In haircare formulations, Laurdimonium Hydroxypropyl Hydrolyzed Jojoba Protein acts as an excellent detangler, smoothing agent, and frizz controller. For skincare, it provides emollient properties and helps to improve skin elasticity. The ingredient is particularly beneficial for dry, damaged hair and sensitive skin types. Its mild nature makes it suitable for use in a wide range of personal care products, including shampoos, conditioners, leave-in treatments, lotions, and creams.
