Antistatic
Electrostatic charges on the skin generated by traction with the skin of some natural and synthetic clothing materials, such as polyester, nylon, silk, and wool, can cause issues when applying makeup and attract dust particles, microfibrils, and bacteria from the air. Combing also generates an electrostatic charge, making hair setting difficult.
Antistatic agents or additives are ingredients incorporated into personal care products to help reduce those adverse effects. There are two major types of antistatic ingredients.
The first type includes nonionic film-forming ionic, cationic salts, and anionic acids that reduce traction and preclude the electron "stealing" (charging) ability of clothing materials and hairbrushes.
The second type of antistatics helps to dissipate electrical charge from the skin and hair surface thanks to their conductivity or humectant action. Humectants, including NMFs (natural moisturizing factors), attract water molecules, increasing skin's conductivity.Dilinoleamidopropyl Dimethylamine is a reaction product of dilinoleic acid and dimethylaminopropyl-dimethylamine, is molecularly more than half vegetable derived with the remainder synthetic.
Hydrolyzed Silk PG-Propyl Methylsilanediol Crosspolymer is a hybrid polymer created from the fusion of hydrolyzed silk peptides and silicone as a backbone.
PPG-5-Ceteth-20 is an alkoxy ether of cetyl alcohol, a heteropolymer of ethylene and propylene oxides. It is a water-soluble nonionic liquid surfactant.
Possibly no word conjures up more emotion than silk. Garments produced from this protein fiber have been held in high esteem for centuries. Silk has been prized for its feel, its magic, and its aura of quality.
