ProCondition™ 22
Brassicamidopropyl Dimethylamine
Conditioning with Sustainable Lamellar Technology
ProCondition™ 22 is a non-quat, cationically charged hair conditioning agent and emulsifier. As a hair conditioning agent, it has comparable performance to behentrimonium chloride (BTAC). As a primary emulsifier, it builds formulation stability by formation of lamellar liquid crystals.
- Non-quat cationic conditioning
- Replacement for BTAC, CTAC, or SAPDMA
- Comparable wet and dry combing to BTAC
- Creates lamellar gel networks
- Versatility in viscosity building
- Primary emulsifier
- Non-irritating to skin or eyes
- Readily biodegradable
- Designed with green chemistry

The Science Behind
ProCondition™ 22 is an amidoamine with a unique C18 - C22 fatty acyl composition.
Fatty Acyl Composition
~34-40% Stearoyl (C18)
~6-14% Arachidoyl (C20)
~45-50% Behenoyl (C22)
The amine functionality is cationically charged below pH 6.5. The cationic group binds to anionically charged hair fibers. The C18 - C22 tail group provides lubricity and conditioning benefits.
In emulsions, ProCondition™ 22 forms lamellar liquid crystals (LLCs) when combined with fatty alcohol. These structures can stabilize high oil loads and provide a soft, powdery and non-greasy feel.
Sustainable Design
Sustainability is embedded in Inolex's design philosophy. ProCondition™ 22 design was guided by the Principles of Green Chemistry and life cycle thinking.
Green Chemistry & Sustainable Life Cycle Highlights:
- non-irritating to skin or eyes
- energy-saving manufacturing process
- 83% biobased feedstocks
- readily biodegradable
One Step Energy-Saving Manufacturing Process
The synthesis of ProCondition 22 employs a novel one-step transamidation instead of the traditional amidoamine multi-step process, resulting in a reduction in Global Warming Potential (GWP), compared to SAPDMA.
Primary Feedstocks
- Brassica
- Petrochemical
