BIS(C13-15 ALKOXY) PG-AMODIMETHICONE.

Valuable CAS 237753-63-8 / HAIR CONDITIONING, HAIR DYEING

A high-performance amino-modified silicone copolymer designed to provide targeted conditioning and long-lasting protection. It creates a sophisticated, vapor-permeable film that enhances the tactile profile of both hair and skin without the heavy buildup typical of traditional silicones.

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient utilizes cationic (positively charged) amine groups to selectively bond with anionic (negatively charged) damaged areas of the keratin surface. The C13-15 alkoxy side chains combined with the silicone backbone establish a breathable barrier that facilitates the even distribution of active ingredients while significantly reducing friction and static.

Key findings

  1. 01 Clinical evaluations demonstrate that concentrations as low as 0.1% to 2.0% significantly improve surface smoothness and softness in rinse-off applications.
  2. 02 Technical data indicates that usage levels up to 5% provide superior thermal protection and color retention in high-performance leave-in treatments.
