New AminoSensyl™ Ingredients Open Doors for Plant-based Hair Care

Cationic surfactants are an important personal care ingredient class, particularly for hair conditioning applications. They improve hair combability in both the wet and dry state and can mitigate the effects of hair damage. The majority of cationic surfactants currently used in personal care formulations are quaternary ammonium species (quats), that have a permanent cationic charge independent of formulation pH, but are not 100% bio based and have potential for environmental and aquatic toxicity over their life cycle. Amino Lipids are the next evolution of high performing cationic ingredients that are derived exclusively from renewable sources. Their molecular design incorporates a cationic ammonium head group and biodegradable ester linkage, derived from naturally occurring amino acids, and a lipophilic alkyl tail group derived from vegetable fatty alcohols.
