So, what is hydroxypropyl oxidized strach pg trimonium chloride?
Hydroxypropyl oxidized strach pg trimonium chloride is a typographical error on product labels for hydroxypropyl oxidized starch PG-trimonium chloride, a chemically modified conditioning agent derived from plant starch. It is produced by taking oxidized starch, usually extracted from corn, potatoes, or wheat, and reacting it with propylene oxide and a quaternary ammonium reagent. Although predominantly formulated into personal care products such as hair conditioners, shampoos, and skin cleansers to reduce static and improve texture, it can occasionally appear on labels for topical emulsions and specialty consumer goods.
this ingredient is vegan.. The primary starting material is obtained directly from agricultural crops, while the modifying chemical reagents are derived from synthetic and petrochemical origins. Because no animal fats, tissues, or animal-based processing aids are involved in its chemical synthesis, hydroxypropyl oxidized starch PG-trimonium chloride is entirely free from animal sources.
We've built a vegan ingredients scanner that classifies food ingredients as "vegan", "non-vegan", or "potentially vegan".
It allows you to avoid non-vegan ingredients - just take a picture of a product's ingredient list, and the app tells you if the product is vegan or not.
