Description

It is used in cosmetics and skin care products as an emulsifying, cleansing surface-active ingredient. Also to prevent product separation into oil and water components. Made from a synthetic blend of polyethylene glycol and fatty alcohols. The higher the number, the thicker they are. Properties: • Protects hair from damage, overdrying, brittleness; • Provides silkiness and softness; • Enhances natural hair shine; • Strengthens hair, gives it strength; • Facilitates combing, eliminates tangles. The most interesting property is selective conditioning only in those areas of the hair where it is necessary. Here, the mechanism of electrostatic attraction is also used. The most damaged areas of the hair surface have an increased negative density of charge, which attracts a larger number of cationic polymer groups to this area.
