Amodimethicone

Other names: Amodimethicone, trideceth-12, cetrimonium chloride

Amodimethicone, which is also known as Amodimethicone, trideceth-12 or cetrimonium chloride, is a special kind of silicone that is often used in the cosmetic industry. It is a valuable ingredient that is often added to various hair care products such as conditioners, shampoos, serums or masks. Thanks to its special properties, it allows for a deep regeneration and hydration of the hair, which offers optimal care for dry and damaged hair.

The mechanism of action of Amodimethicone is that it coats the surface of the hair with a thin layer that prevents damage to the hair while increasing its shine and elasticity. This layer also protects the hair from adverse external influences such as UV rays or temperature shocks caused, for example, by ironing the hair. In addition, Amodimethicone reduces the electrical conductivity of the hair, which prevents frizz. In addition to hair care products, Amodimethicone is also used in skin creams to provide a light consistency and hydration to the skin. It is important to mention that Amodimethicone is considered a safe ingredient and its use is approved by both the European Union and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
