TRIMETHYLSILYL HYDROLYZED SILK PG-PROPYL METHYLSILANEDIOL CROSSPOLYMER

Description

Trimethylsilyl Hydrolyzed Silk PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol Crosspolymer is an innovative hybrid ingredient that combines the benefits of silk proteins with silicone technology. This complex molecule is designed to provide superior conditioning and protective properties in haircare formulations.

The ingredient is composed of hydrolyzed silk proteins that have been chemically modified and crosslinked with silicone-based polymers. This unique structure allows it to form a lightweight, flexible film on the hair surface, offering enhanced moisture retention and improved hair manageability.

Key benefits of Trimethylsilyl Hydrolyzed Silk PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol Crosspolymer include:

1. Excellent humidity resistance, reducing frizz and flyaways
2. Improved hair smoothness and shine
3. Enhanced heat protection for thermal styling
4. Increased hair strength and elasticity
5. Long-lasting conditioning effects

The ingredient is particularly effective in leave-in treatments, serums, and heat-protectant sprays. It is compatible with a wide range of haircare formulations and can be used in both sulfate-free and silicone-free products. Due to its film-forming properties, it may also provide some benefits in color protection for dyed hair.
