CETEARAMIDOETHYLDIETHONIUM SUCCINOYL HYDROLYZED PEA PROTEIN.

Valuable / ANTISTATIC, CLEANSING, SURFACTANT - CLEANSING

A high-performance, plant-derived biomimetic lipid designed to replicate the protective 18-MEA layer of the hair and skin barrier. This advanced pea protein derivative selectively targets damaged areas to restore hydrophobic integrity and smooth the surface texture.

Conditioning Agent Barrier Repair Surface Smoothing Biomimetic Lipid

Science

This cationic conditioning agent utilizes its positive charge to bind specifically to damaged, negatively charged sites on the skin and hair cuticle. By mimicking the structure of 18-methyleicosanoic acid (18-MEA), it restores the natural lipid barrier and reinforces the F-layer, significantly improving water-repelling properties and reducing friction.
