PPG-15 BUTYL ETHER.

Valuable CAS 9003-13-8 / HAIR CONDITIONING, SKIN CONDITIONING

PPG-15 Butyl Ether is a synthetic conditioning agent engineered to enhance skin and hair texture. It establishes a fine, protective film upon application, effectively locking in moisture and shielding against environmental dehydration, resulting in a noticeably smoother and more supple surface.

Science

Mechanism of Action

Operating as a skin and hair conditioning agent, PPG-15 Butyl Ether forms a non-occlusive, thin film on the surface of the skin or hair. This film mechanism helps to reduce transepidermal water loss, providing effective moisturization and protecting against dehydration, which contributes to a refined, silky aesthetic.
