Palmitoyl hyxdroxypropyltrimonium amylopectin/glycerol crosspolymer (inci)

"Palmitoyl" means the univalent radical derived from palmitic acid which is characterized by the loss of the hydroxy group. Copolymers are polymers composed of two different monomer units. Crosspolymers are cross-linked polymers (or copolymers) in which a large number of individual macromolecules are linked to form a three-dimensional network. The linking can be achieved either directly during the construction of the macromolecules or by reactions on already existing polymers. A cross-linker is characterized by at least two reactive groups.

Palmitoyl hydroxypropyltrimonium amylopectin/glycerol crosspolymer is the palmitic acid ester of a polymer of a hydroxypropyltrimonium derivative of amylopectin crosslinked with glycerol (crosspolymer). The amylopectin cross polymer is mainly of vegetable origin and is used in cosmetic formulations. The substance acts as a skin care product.
