Base for conditioner with cetrimonium chloride ERCAQUAT HRC

The base (Base) for conditioner with cetrimonium chloride ERCAQUAT HRC is a product that makes it possible to easily and quickly make a high-quality hair conditioner that will be soft enough, will moisturize the hair, create an excellent conditioning effect and do not use a large number of auxiliary substances. Due to Cetrimonium chloride, which is part of the base, it is used in the production of conditioners, hair dyes, other hair care products, as well as in some skin care products. Cetrimonium Chloride in the composition of the Base (Base) for conditioner with cetrimonium chloride ERCAQUAT HRC mixes impurities on the hair and scalp, thereby making them easier to wash off. Also, Cetrimonium chloride is recognized as a highly active caring biologically active substance that forms a protective leveling film on the surface of the hair; In addition, it makes it easier to comb wet hair and prevents static electricity. Using this mixture to prepare hair products, you do not need to use a large amount of additional softening additives or silicones. It will be sufficient to introduce together with the Base (Base) for the conditioner with cetrimonium chloride ERCAQUAT HRC: base oils, a suitable emulsifier, emollient (optional), active ingredients that will additionally nourish (d-panthenol, NUF for hair, chitosan, wheat or silk hydrolysates etc.), do not introduce or use in small quantities - silicones, quaterniums or other polymers to give a feeling of smoothness, softness, shine. This product is very easy to use and does not cause harm. INCI: Cetearyl alcohol, ethylhexyl stearate, cetrimonium chlorite, ceteareth-20 Description of components:

Cetearyl alcohol - there are different ratios 50/50, 30/70 - a mixture of cetyl and stearyl alcohols. Used in cosmetics as an emollient and structure-forming component. Natural origin, produced from coconut oil, used in cosmetics as a solvent, emulsifier, thickener, structural basis for other ingredients.

Cetrimonium chloride is a quaternary ammonium salt. Used in the development of hair conditioners, dyes, other hair care products, as well as in the development of some skin care products.
Functions:
- antistatic, reducing static electricity by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface ;
- a preservative, primarily suppresses the development of microorganisms in cosmetics. This preservative is on the list of approved preservatives (Annex VI of the Cosmetics Directive);
- an antimicrobial agent, helps cleanse the skin and prevent odor by destroying and inhibiting the growth of microorganisms;
- an emulsifying agent, helps to mix water with oil and dirt, so that they can be washed off;
- surfactant, reduces the surface tension of cosmetics and thereby facilitates its uniform application.
In its pure form, cetrimonium chloride is a very strong irritant for the skin, mucous membranes, but, after evaluating the scientific evidence, The CIR Expert Panel concluded that the substance is safe for use in leave-on products and safe for use at concentrations up to 0.25% in leave-on cosmetic products.
Not a carcinogen.< br /> In accordance with the European Union Cosmetics Directive, cetrimonium chloride can be used as a preservative at a maximum concentration of 0.1%.

Ethylhexyl stearate is a substance that acts as a reagent in modern cosmetics. for skin, designed to soften the skin and improve its appearance. As a typical emollient - a substance that is added to creams and lotions to create an instant velvety and smooth effect, ethylhexyl stearate is included in the fatty phase of many cosmetics and has excellent emollient properties.
Without penetrating deep into the skin, this substance does not have any effect on living cells and creates a purely cosmetic effect, without actively interfering with physiology, temporarily improving the appearance of the skin. Meanwhile, it reliably protects the skin from mechanical damage and moisture loss, ensures adhesion of horny scales on its surface; helps strengthen the barrier functions of the epidermis and restore lipid balance, thereby reducing transepidermal water evaporation.
The popularity of ethylhexyl stearate in cosmetics is due to the fact that, being a traditional emollient, it significantly improves the consumer quality of cosmetic products, determining its beautiful appearance , absorption, ease of distribution over the skin, and after application to the skin, giving it an extraordinary feeling of softness, smoothness and silkiness.
Ethylhexyl stearate is especially good in products for especially sensitive skin, moisturizing emulsions for the face and body, softening anti-aging creams etc.
However, one cannot fail to mention the danger that ethylhexyl stearate may pose. First, depending on the concentration, it has limitations in use. Secondly, in rare cases it can cause clogging of pores, thereby provoking the appearance of acne.
I somehow liked this substance according to this description, I’ll probably order it separately again)

Ceteareth- 20 - surfactant. Capable of destroying particles of fat or dirt, facilitating their easy removal from the surface of the skin or hair. Reduces surface tension of liquid, improves wetting of skin and hair. Purpose of the product Ceteares-20 (Ceteareth-20): Emulsifier, stabilizer. Contraindications: Individual intolerance.
Ceteares-20 (Ceteareth-20) is an emulsifier - a substance that keeps water and oils in a mixed (emulsion) state (the number 20 reflects the chemical structure of the molecule). Non-toxic, does not cause allergies.
Chemical character of Ceteares-20 (Ceteareth-20): anionic.
Ceteares-20 (Ceteareth-20) combines well with anionic and cationic surfactants. In the cream, Ceteares-20 (Ceteareth-20) gives structure, light consistency and a silky feel when applied..
