Acetamidoethyl PG-Trimonium Chloride is a quaternized substantive humectant with excellent moisture-binding properties and low molecular weight. It is a tack-free material that possesses a soft smooth feel.
Antistatic
Electrostatic charges on the skin generated by traction with the skin of some natural and synthetic clothing materials, such as polyester, nylon, silk, and wool, can cause issues when applying makeup and attract dust particles, microfibrils, and bacteria from the air. Combing also generates an electrostatic charge, making hair setting difficult.
Antistatic agents or additives are ingredients incorporated into personal care products to help reduce those adverse effects. There are two major types of antistatic ingredients.
The first type includes nonionic film-forming ionic, cationic salts, and anionic acids that reduce traction and preclude the electron "stealing" (charging) ability of clothing materials and hairbrushes.
The second type of antistatics helps to dissipate electrical charge from the skin and hair surface thanks to their conductivity or humectant action. Humectants, including NMFs (natural moisturizing factors), attract water molecules, increasing skin's conductivity.Acrylates Copolymer is a milky-white liquid, a low-viscosity cross-linked acrylic polymer. It has excellent suspending, stabilizing, and thickening properties, preferably within a pH range between 6.3 and 8, but also continues to thicken up to pH 11.
