Using Ethoxydiglycol in Hair Masks

Ethoxydiglycol is primarily used as a solvent and carrier to help ingredients penetrate the skin. It is not typically used in hair mask formulations because its function is focused on skin absorption, which is different from how ingredients benefit hair.

For hair masks, ingredients that nourish and coat the hair strands are more effective. Consider using:

• Proteins: These help to strengthen and repair the hair structure.

  • Hydrolyzed Silk Protein
  • Hydrolyzed Pea Protein
  • Hair Wheat Protein

• Natural Oils: These provide moisture and shine to the hair.

  • Argan Oil
  • Jojoba Oil
  • NaturalProfile™ Sweet Almond Oil

• Hair Coating Agents (Silicones and Conditioners): These help to smooth the hair cuticle, reduce static, and provide a soft feel.

  • SiliWater™
  • Dimethicone (various viscosities like Medium/350, Light/50, Very Light/5)
  • Silicone Blender
  • Cetrimonium Chloride (CTAC)

Formulating a hair mask with a combination of these types of ingredients will provide better conditioning and repair benefits for the hair compared to using Ethoxydiglycol.
