POLYSILICONE-30

Description

Polysilicone-30 is an innovative silicone-based polymer widely used in advanced haircare formulations. This multifunctional ingredient acts as a conditioning agent, film former, and emollient, providing significant benefits to hair texture and manageability. Its unique molecular structure allows it to form a lightweight, flexible film on the hair shaft without causing buildup or a greasy feel.

In hair products, Polysilicone-30 excels at improving combability, reducing frizz, and enhancing shine. It offers superior heat protection, shielding hair from thermal damage caused by styling tools. The ingredient's water-resistant properties help maintain hairstyles in humid conditions and protect against environmental stressors.

Polysilicone-30 is particularly effective in leave-in treatments, serums, and heat-styling products. It's compatible with a wide range of other haircare ingredients, making it versatile for various formulations. Unlike traditional silicones, Polysilicone-30 is less likely to accumulate on hair over time, making it suitable for frequent use without causing heaviness or dulling.

This ingredient is generally well-tolerated and can be used in products for all hair types, including color-treated and chemically processed hair.
