Insufficient Data CAS 19467-38-0 / ANTISTATIC, HAIR CONDITIONING

OLEOYL PG-TRIMONIUM CHLORIDE is a cationic conditioning agent recognized for its ability to neutralize static electricity. It imparts a smooth, soft feel to both hair and skin, enhancing overall texture and manageability.

Summary

Antistatic Hair Conditioning Skin Conditioning

Science

Mechanism of Action

As a cationic surfactant, OLEOYL PG-TRIMONIUM CHLORIDE forms electrostatic bonds with the skin's surface, promoting effective deposition. This mechanism contributes to a soft and silky skin feel, improves glide, and can enhance the delivery and retention of moisturizing agents and emollients. It also reduces static charges by neutralizing electrical imbalances.
