It provides excellent: Hair Lubricity. The material contains a majority of behenyl (C22) compounds that yield superb dry combability without build-up. Cationic Charge. Its electrostatic attraction to hair can be tailored by adjusting formulation pH. The lower the pH, the greater its cationic charge. Formulation Stability. It can be the primary emulsifier to build high viscosity formulations. PRINCIPAL USES ProCondition 22 typical use levels: 1-2% in rinse-off hair conditioners 0.5-1% in leave-on conditioners, styling lotions and pomades 0.2-0.5% as a co-emulsifier in skin care emulsions ProCondition 22 should be neutralized, yielding a formulation pH between 4 and 6.5.
