Science

Mechanism of Action

SODIUM DILINOLEAMIDOPROPYL PG-DIMONIUM CHLORIDE PHOSPHATE mimics naturally occurring phospholipids, facilitating the topical deposition of essential fatty acids onto the skin and hair. Its positively charged structure ensures effective and long-lasting adherence, providing significant conditioning benefits. Additionally, it acts as a mild surfactant, enabling the delivery of essential fatty acids without 'salting out' when combined with anionic surfactants, and exhibits gentle cleansing and anti-irritation properties.
