Cocamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate is a clear yellow liquid derived from coconut oil used as a foamer and cleanser. It exhibits gentle cleansing, highly substantive skin conditioning, and effective broad-spectrum antimicrobial activity.
Phospholipids
Phospholipids are essential components of the human body and are a natural choice for personal care products formulated to nourish, moisturize, cleanse, and condition skin and hair. Sysnthetic biomimetic phospholipid complexes start with nature mimic structurally and functionally natural phospholipids and improve upon it to deliver a wide range of formulation effects in skin and hair.
Synthetic phospholipids are derived from specially selected vegetable oils and modified to enhance their effectiveness in personal care formulations. These modifications have resulted in unique multifunctional products characterized by their mildness, substantivity, and the remarkable properties they impart to skin and hair.
The use of natural phospholipids in cosmetic products can lead to problems in the formulation, e.g., rancidity (smell), negative influence on preservation, limited substantivity, color, pH sensitivity, or batch variation. Chemical modification of natural substances allows for overcoming these problems.
Phospholipids used in personal care products are usually vegetable-derived, substantive to skin and hair, mild, conditioning, versatile, and give improved skin feel. Biomimetic phospholipids are more substantive to hair/skin than natural phospholipids due to the presence of two positive charges on the molecule instead of only one.In addition, due to their amphoteric character, biomimetic phospholipids are more compatible with virtually all other types of ingredients, including anionic surfactants. Finally, biomimetic phospholipids utilize an amide linkage between the fatty acid groups and the polar groups, simulating the ceramide structural characteristics and providing better long-term stability than natural phospholipids.
Hydrogenated Lecithin is a derivative of lecithin obtained from soy with a high content of phosphatidylcholine phospholipid. Phosphatidylcholine provides emulsifying properties and a mild action that is especially important for sensitive skin.
Lecithin is a mix of phospholipids, a miracle serum that leaves your hair smooth and healthy. This structure-forming component helps repair dry hair. It infuses your hair with moisture and restores its natural barrier.
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.
Linoleamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate Dimethicone is a water-soluble organosilicon composition with high silicone content (60% of 25% activity) that delivers an exceptionally high silicone content to clear personal care formulations.
Phospholipids are bipolar molecules with phosphate-containing hydrophilic "head" and long lipophilic "tails" which are esterified fatty acids. This group of organic compounds is very common in nature as they are pivotal components of all cell membranes.
Gamma-linolenic acid (GLA) is the second most abundant essential fatty acid in the skin and possibly even more important than linoleic acid for maintaining effective moisture barrier properties.
Sodium Coco PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate is a phospholipid complex composed predominantly of diester phosphatides with multiple long-chain groups.
Stearamidopropyl PG-Dimonium Chloride Phosphate is a multi-functional phospholipid and diester phosphatide with multiple long-chain groups derived from pure natural palm oil.
