Essential fatty acids are recognized as a vital part of the human diet that cannot be synthesized internally. These fatty acids are the foundations of phospholipids, such as phosphatidylcholine, which are critical in the cell membrane to help facilitate the passage of biological substances.
Numerous laboratory studies show that where linoleic acid is deficient in the skin, the addition of linoleic acid in the free or esterified form will quickly reverse the condition. Linoleamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate is derived from natural safflower oil, and it contains the highest level of linoleic acid obtainable in a phospholipid derived from natural oil.
It is extremely mild and provides excellent substantivity to skin and hair. Linoleamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate is a cold-processable ingredient that saves energy during production. It offers effective conditioning, mildness, and a non-greasy feel.
In hair care applications, Linoleamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate acts as a non-greasy emollient, enhances wet combability,and reduces hair static without affecting lathering. It is used in conditioners, styling aids, shampoos, and clear 2-in-1 products
In skin care preparations, it provides topical delivery of essential fatty acid without salting out with anionic surfactants and enables clear formulations. It is used in facial creams, eye contour gels, cleansers, shower and bath gels.
