Description
Emulsifier Condisoft – Cationic Hair Conditioner, Antistatic
Emulsifier Condisoft is a conditioning agent and emulsifier derived from plant fatty acids, representing an eco-friendly and readily biodegradable alternative to traditional quaternary ammonium salts (such as Behentrimonium Chloride).
It possesses an adaptogenic nature: as such, it is non-ionic, but it becomes strongly cationic (positively charged) when neutralized with an acid in the water phase. In this activated form, Condisoft selectively adheres to damaged areas of the cuticle (negatively charged), eliminating static electricity, smoothing the hair shaft, and facilitating wet and dry combing without causing build-up.
Ingredients (INCI): Stearamidopropyl Dimethylamine.
Technical Characteristics
- Ingredient Type: Cationic emulsifier, hair conditioning agent, antistatic.
- Appearance: Off-white to yellowish pellets or flakes.
- Cosmetic Function: Antistatic agent, hair conditioner, emulsifier, cleansing surfactant.
- Recommended Dosage: 2 - 5%
Main Properties
- Superior Conditioning: Smooths the hair cuticle, reduces combing friction, and prevents breakage when wet.
- Antistatic and Anti-Frizz: Neutralizes negative charges on the keratin surface, taming flyaway hair and providing natural volume without static electricity.
- Sensory Enhancement: Used as a co-emulsifier, it imparts a fine texture to creams and conditioners and ensures much easier rinsing, leaving a silky feel on skin and hair.
- Shampoo Performance (2-in-1): Acts as an active conditioning agent during washing, improving foam texture and leaving hair soft after rinsing.
- High Biodegradability: Its amido-amine structure allows for rapid and safe biological degradation in the aquatic environment.
- Lightweight Volumizing Effect: Unlike silicones, it offers shine and suppleness without weighing down or flattening fine hair.
Applications
- Rinse-off hair conditioners intended for all hair types.
- Intensive hair masks for damaged, dyed, or chemically treated hair.
- Leave-in conditioners and sprays for quick hair detangling.
- Styling creams, fluid hair waxes, and curl-defining lotions.
- Conditioning shampoos (2-in-1) and creamy shampoos intended for dry or curly hair.
- "Co-Wash" hair cleansing products, washing conditioners.
- Purely aqueous leave-in spray lotions for rapid detangling.
Formulation Guide
- » Conditioner Procedure: Condisoft is typically introduced into the oil phase of the formula alongside fatty alcohols (such as Cetearyl alcohol) that serve as structurants. The oil phase is heated until completely melted. Activation: In order to become an effective cationic conditioner and emulsify water, it must react with an acid. The acid is always added to the water phase before combining the phases. As a guideline, for every 1 gram of Condisoft Emulsifier used in the recipe, approximately 0.3 g of Lactic Acid needs to be added to the water phase to achieve complete neutralization. Mixing Process: The warm water phase (containing the dissolved acid) is poured into the warm oil phase with vigorous stirring. As the neutralization reaction occurs, the mixture will transform into a thick emulsion. Maintain agitation during cooling.
- » Aqueous Formulas Procedure: Since there is no oil phase, Condisoft is added directly to the water phase along with the required amount of acid (approx. 0.3g 80% lactic acid for every 1g of Condisoft). The mixture is heated in a water bath to approx. 70°C with continuous stirring. As it melts, it reacts with the acid and completely dissolves in water, generating a slightly opalescent solution. Allow to cool and add heat-sensitive actives and preservative.
- » Shampoo Procedure: Condisoft is melted by heating in the mixture of water, acid, and primary surfactants (the use of non-ionic surfactants such as Decyl Glucoside and amphoteric ones such as Coco-Betaine is recommended). The mixture is heated to 70°C until completely dissolved. Technical Note: If also using anionic surfactants such as Sodium Coco Sulfate, introduce Condisoft pre-dissolved in acidic water very slowly under stirring to avoid precipitation and the formation of insoluble complexes.
- Optimal Finished Product pH Range: pH 4.0 - 5.0
- Recommended Usage Dosage: 1% - 3% as a conditioning agent in hair conditioners, masks, shampoos, and lotions; up to 5% in intensive restructuring treatments.
- Compatibility: Compatible with non-ionic and cationic ingredients; incompatible with strongly anionic surfactants.
Safety in Use and Storage
Safety Profile: Biodegradable raw material. Exhibits skin and hair tolerance superior to traditional quaternary compounds.
Precautions: For external cosmetic use only. In pure form, it may cause mild irritation in case of direct contact with the eyes. Keep out of reach of children.
Storage: Keep in a closed container, in a dry and cool place, protected from light.

I have been using this product for a very long time in conditioners and hair masks. I recommend it, especially for people with curly/curly hair!
It is great to use in shampoos because it doesn't weigh hair down and leaves hair f detangled during washing, drying and combing
I use it in shampoo and am very satisfied. My hair settles better and it seems to be easier to manage.
Extremely useful in the preparation of creams, balms and solid shampoos. I will definitely use it whenever you don't have BTMS25 in stock
I tried to make solid shampoo without using this emulsifier but, although I used good quality oils my hair gets fat very quickly, with these my hair cleans better and stays cleaner longer!
With this emulsifier I managed to create the best hair mask for me! My hair is not so dry, coarse and dull anymore. It moisturizes it perfectly! In the right recipe, it works wonders. As an ingredient, it works very easily and emulsifies very well. I make sure I never miss it in my house!
I've tried several commercial shampoo replacements with varying results that didn't meet my hair and scalp needs. With this emulsifier I was able to create a shampoo and mask for dry hair. My hair is finally clean and nourished. It works easily with this product, melts quickly and emulsifies the phases well.
My hair mask leaves hair easy to comb and smooth. An important contribution is this conditioner which also has a strong antistatic effect.
For hair. The hair conditioners it contains improve combability of wet and dry hair, as well as adhesion to the hair and reduce static charge.
I use this ingredient for my leave-in conditioner, it is very good, helps detangle and discipline hair. Thanks so much for the recipes!
I really like how it works, it makes some extremely good conditioners for oily hair, but also for sensitive scalp.
If you want to make a mask or coditioner you must use it, the result is wow from the first use, an excellent product for hair care.
Este un ingredient foarte bun pentru orice masca capilara,e nelipsit din toate my retele. I have tested it in different concentrations and variations together with Varisoft or cetearyl alcohol and got different textures with the same beautiful affinity to the hair.
I made the hair conditioner. I like it very much, it helps combing, it helps Dés al orra and the hair has an antistatic effect.
