Glycine is a small-molecule nonessential amino acid. It's a proteinogenic amino acid, an important precursor of collagen which contains about 35% glycine in the chain.
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.Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a naturally derived cationic polymer that is commonly used as a conditioning agent in shampoos, cream rinse conditioners, shower gels, body washes, and skin cleanser formulas.
