What is this ingredient?

[Guest guest]

Hi:

I purchased a spray that contains " soyaephyl morpholimom ethosulfate "

Can someone tell me what this is?

Soyethyl Morpholinium Ethosulfate is the quaternary ammonium salt that

is sold by Uniqema under the trade name Forestall.

Quoting from http://www.uniqema.com/pc/lit/americas/pc16/index.htm

Forestall is one of a unique class of cationic surfactants which are

effective deodorizers for a wide range of malodors. It functions by

complexing or neutralizing specific organic molecules and reducing

their concentration on the vapor phase. Forestall is particularly

effective against organic acids like those responsible for body odor.

It also complexes sulfur compounds produced by various hair care

products like home permanents, or depilatories. These and other

potential applications are suggested below:

Functions

Hair care (permanents, straighteners, conditioners, dyes)

Underarm deodorants (sticks, lotions, powders, antiperspirant formulas)

Foot products (powders, insoles)

Space deodorizers (aerosols, solids)

Surface deodorizers (garbage containers, kitchen surfaces)

Laundry products (rinses, conditioners)

Hair care applications

Forestall offers a dual functionality unlike any other hair care

ingredient. First, it is a unique deodorizer. Forestall actually

neutralizes various malodors by forming a complex with them.

Forestall is also a highly effective cationic hair conditioner which

reduces static fly-away and leaves hair soft, shiny and manageable. It

improves wet combability and does not build up with frequent use.

Forestall is water soluble and compatible with anionics generally used

in shampoos.

Functionality

Deodorizations

Independent laboratory tests have shown that Forestall neutralizes a

wide range of malodors like amyl mercaptan, butyric acid, cabbage juice

or tobacco smoke. The Uniqema Personal Care Laboratory has demonstrated

that Forestall reduces the unpleasant odors associated with home

permanents and depilatories. For example, 2% Forestall in waving lotion

and/or neutralizer lotion neutralized the mercaptan odor of permed

hair. Forestall is also effective as a post-treatment rinse to

deodorize and condition the hair.

Conditioning

Our laboratory tests have shown that Forestall is a highly effective

conditioner for hair. It is comparable to other commercial quaterniums

with respect to wet or dry combability and reduced static charge.

Moreover, it does not build up when used repeatedly.

Degree of substantivity has been determined quantitatively on wool

using a " Rubine Dye Test " described in U.S. Patent 3,769,398. When wool

(or blond-hair) is treated with a cationic conditioner, anionic dye

(Pyrazol Fast Bordeaux 2BL) is adsorbed by the cationic. The intensity

of the resulting color is a function of the degree of substantivity and

was measured colorimetrically.

These experiments demonstrated that Forestall is more substantive than

stearalkonium chloride. It washed out readily and did not build up

after multiple shampoo-conditioning cycles.
