Soyamine
DefinitionThis section has been translated automatically.
Soyamine, a fatty amine based on soya fatty acids, is used in cosmetic formulations. The mixture acts as an emulsifier (a surface-active substance used in cosmetic products as an additive to combine two immiscible liquids - e.g. oil and water - to form an emulsion) and as an antistatic agent (reduces static charges by neutralizing the electrical charge on the surface, e.g. of hair).
