HYDROXYETHYL DIETHYLENETRIAMINE DIOLEAMIDE/PALMITAMIDE.

Optional / HAIR CONDITIONING

This fatty acid-derived ingredient functions as a mild conditioning agent, primarily recognized for its benefits in hair care. On skin, it aims to enhance tactile feel through smoothing and emollience, potentially contributing to a reinforced skin barrier function. Its emollient properties suggest a similar conditioning action could be beneficial for dermal application.

Conditioning Agent Emollient Static Control

Science

Mechanism of Action

Hydroxyethyl Diethylenetriamine Dioleamide/Palmitamide operates as a conditioning agent by improving surface hydrophobicity and controlling static charge. Derived from fatty acids, it works to smooth and condition the skin, providing a softer feel and potentially bolstering the skin's protective barrier via its emollient action, mirroring its function in hair to detangle and smooth.
