Full Description

Quaternized (cationic) hydrolyzed silk protein derivative (CAS 65243-93-8) bearing a coco-quaternary ammonium group. Used in personal-care formulations as a hair- and skin-conditioning agent that adds substantivity and film formation. Typically supplied as an aqueous solution.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does cocodimonium hydroxypropyl silk amino acids do in a formulation?

It is a quaternized (cationic) hydrolyzed silk protein derivative (CAS 65243-93-8) used as a hair- and skin-conditioning agent. The coco-quaternary ammonium group gives it substantivity and film-forming behavior, and it also acts as an antistatic agent on hair fibers.

Is this material the same as plain hydrolyzed silk?

No. It is hydrolyzed silk that has been further reacted with a coco-quaternary ammonium hydroxypropyl group, making it cationic. Plain hydrolyzed silk is not quaternized, so the two differ in charge and substantivity.

How is cocodimonium hydroxypropyl silk amino acids supplied?

It is typically supplied as an aqueous solution. RawSource ships in drums, totes, and smaller pack sizes for personal-care formulators. Request a CoA and SDS with your quote to confirm active content and specification.

What is the CAS number for this ingredient?

The referenced CAS number is 65243-93-8. Confirm the exact INCI and CAS against the CoA, since silk-protein derivatives are supplied at varying degrees of hydrolysis and quaternization.

What is the cost of bulk cocodimonium hydroxypropyl silk amino acids?

Pricing depends on volume, active content, and packaging. Submit an RFQ with your target volume for a current quote — we do not publish list pricing.
