PEG/PPG-1/25 DIETHYLMONIUM CHLORIDE.

Optional / ANTISTATIC

PEG/PPG-1/25 Diethylmonium Chloride is a multi-functional cationic compound utilized in skincare and haircare for its excellent conditioning, emulsifying, and antistatic properties. It enhances moisturization, improves product aesthetics on skin, and significantly benefits hair manageability and feel.

Summary

Antistatic agent Emulsifying agent Surfactant

Science

Mechanism of Action

This ingredient functions by adsorbing to negatively charged surfaces, such as skin and hair, owing to its cationic nature. This adsorption confers conditioning and antistatic effects, while its surfactant properties aid in emulsification, stabilizing oil and water phases within formulations.

Key findings

  1. 01 When incorporated as a cationic emulsifier in skin care moisturizing compositions (creams and lotions) at concentrations from 0.1% to 30%, it delivered excellent moisturization, improved absorbency, and superior afterfeel aesthetics. It also provided relief and prevention of skin dryness with minimal to no irritation.
  2. 02 In hair care compositions, concentrations up to 5% to 30% (of the final composition) demonstrated efficacy as an antistatic agent, enhancing wet and dry combability, improving hair feel, and aiding in the prevention of split ends.
