PPG-5-Ceteth-20 is an alkoxy ether of cetyl alcohol, a heteropolymer of ethylene and propylene oxides. It is a water-soluble nonionic liquid surfactant.
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.PVM/MA Copolymer is a methylvinylether and maleic acid copolymer used in various cosmetic applications as a binder, complexing agent, adhesive, film former, etc. Its aqueous solution is a clear, yellowish, viscous liquid with a slight characteristic odor.

Sodium Lauroyl Hydrolyzed Silk is a silk-based anionic surfactant and is designed for higher-end brands, products, and customers enjoying silk as part of the cleansing process and label content.
Sodium Lauroyl Oat Amino Acids is a sodium salt of acylated oat (Avena Sativa) amino acids, a functional surfactant from modified natural raw material. It is compatible with anionic and non-ionic surfactants used in soaps and cleansing applications.
Sodium Lauroyl Sarcosinate (Sarkosyl) is a sodium salt of Lauroyl Sarcosinate, an ester of Lauroyl alcohol and Sarcosine amino acid. It is a secondary surfactant in a wide range of cleansing applications.
Sodium PCA is contained abundantly in the skin and plays the role of a "natural moisturizing factor" (NMF) ingredient. It is extremely hygroscopic and imparts a pleasant moist feeling to skin and hair.
Sodium Polystyrene Sulfonate is a highly versatile polymer that performs various functions in both leave-on and rinse-off hair care applications. This polymer is used in styling aids and deep cleansing shampoos.
The sea is the source of all life. Soluble Collagen has been developed utilizing a variety of marine species that are rich in essential minerals and have excellent moisturizing and film-forming properties. It is also made from cattle hides using a weak acid/neutral salt extraction process.
Soyethyl Morpholinium Ethosulfate is a cationic surfactant that effectively deodorizes a wide range of malodors. It functions by complexing or neutralizing specific organic molecules and reducing their concentration in the vapor phase.
Starch Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride is a naturally derived cationic polysaccharide produced from food-grade potato starch that has not been genetically modified and is free of environmentally toxic residues.
