Science

Mechanism of Action

As a cationic quaternary ammonium compound, Minkamidopropyl Ethyldimonium Ethosulfate functions by adsorbing onto the naturally negatively charged surfaces of the skin and hair. This interaction effectively neutralizes static charges, thereby reducing static electricity, while simultaneously creating a smoother surface texture and imparting a moisturized, softened feel.
