Substance information
"Hydroxypropyl" refers to 2-hydroxypropanol (1,2-propanediol) as alcoholic component or generally the 2-hydroxypropyl group as hydrocarbon residue. "Trimonium..." refers to a quaternary trimethyl ammonium salt, often based on fatty amines. Examples: "steartrimonium..." contains a stearyl-(C18-) carbon chain; "laurtrimonium..." contains a lauryl-(C12-) hydrocarbon residue. "Hydrolyzed" means: hydrolysed or a hydrolysate (product of the separation of a chemical compound by reaction with water, often by means of enzymes). Ingredient on the basis of wheat protein. "Protein" refers to proteins, mostly of plant origin. Proteins are biological macromolecules which are made from amino acids. "...Siloxy" generally refers to a silicone-oxygen group, particularly in siloxanes. Siloxanes are silicone compounds in which the silicone atoms are interlinked via oxygen bridges. Polymeric siloxanes are referred to as silicones. Silicates are salts and esters of the silicic acid; this also includes natural silicate minerals or synthetic silicates (eg "glasses").
