Polysilicone-38

Che cos'è?

Polysilicone-38 is a siloxane polymer that is made is several steps. First, Cyclotetrasiloxane is polymerized with Bis-Hydrogen Disiloxane, reacted to produce Bis-Hydrogen Dimethicone, which is reacted with PEG-48 diallyl ether and allyl glycidyl ether. Finally, the siloxane polymer is reacted with is capped with and Diisopropanolamine

A cosa serve?

Polysilicone-38 è elencato nell'inventario UE degli ingredienti cosmetici con le seguenti funzioni dichiarate:

• Surfactant - emulsifying

  surfactant that forms and stabilises emulsions of oil and water — without it, creams and lotions would separate

• Hair conditioning

  improves the appearance, feel, and manageability of hair

• Hair fixing

  holds hair in a desired style, typically through a flexible film coating each strand

• Hair waving or straightening

  permanently changes the shape of hair through chemical reduction and re-oxidation of the hair's disulfide bonds

• Surfactant

  lowers surface tension, allowing oil and water to mix — the cleansing core of soaps and shampoos

Stato regolatorio UE

Polysilicone-38 è consentito nei prodotti cosmetici nell'Unione Europea secondo il Regolamento 1223/2009. Non è soggetto a una restrizione specifica di Allegato al momento della stesura.
