PEG-2 RAPESEEDAMINE

Description

PEG-2 Rapeseedamine is a multifunctional ingredient derived from rapeseed oil, widely used in personal care and cosmetic formulations. This compound belongs to the ethoxylated amine family and is characterized by its mild surfactant properties and versatile applications in skincare and haircare products.

As an emulsifier and solubilizer, PEG-2 Rapeseedamine helps to stabilize formulations by facilitating the blending of oil and water-based components. It also acts as a conditioning agent, enhancing the feel and manageability of hair and skin. In hair care products, it can reduce static and improve combability.

The ingredient exhibits pH-adjusting capabilities, making it useful in maintaining the optimal acidity of various formulations. Its mild nature makes it suitable for sensitive skin applications. PEG-2 Rapeseedamine can also function as a cleansing agent, contributing to the removal of dirt and excess oils without excessive drying.

Safety assessments have generally found PEG-2 Rapeseedamine to be well-tolerated when used at appropriate concentrations in cosmetic formulations. However, as with any ingredient, individual sensitivities may vary, and patch testing is recommended for those with known allergies or skin sensitivities.
