Cetearamidoethyl Diethonium Succinoyl Hydrolyzed Pea Protein
What is Cetearamidoethyl Diethonium Succinoyl Hydrolyzed Pea Protein?
Cetearamidoethyl Diethonium Succinoyl Hydrolyzed Pea Protein is a cationic (positively charged) conditioning agent derived from hydrolyzed pea proteins chemically modified with succinoyl groups and a cetyl/stearyl amidopropyl ethyldimonium structure. It is primarily used in hair care products like shampoos, conditioners, and styling aids to provide antistatic properties, improve manageability, and enhance smoothness by adhering to negatively charged hair surfaces. This plant-based ingredient offers a sustainable alternative to synthetic quaternary ammonium compounds, delivering conditioning benefits without heavy buildup.
Roles in Formulation
This ingredient serves the following purposes in cosmetic formulations:
Antistatic agent
Reduces static electricity and flyaways by improving surface conductivity, enhancing hair manageability and smoothness in conditioners and styling products.
Hair conditioning
Improves softness, shine, and manageability by reducing friction and static; commonly achieved with cationic agents, silicones, oils, or conditioning polymers.
Skin conditioning agent
Maintains skin softness, smoothness, and flexibility.
Film former
Creates a continuous film on skin or hair to improve wear, water resistance, transfer resistance, shine, or hold in sunscreens, makeup, and styling products.
