MadSci Network: Biochemistry |
I am doing a scirnce fair project on what I believe are "live nezymes", but I'm having trouble finding any information on it. Some research Iv'e been finding supports the idea that they aren't enzymes at all, if not what are they. I first got the idea for this project while my mom was in cosmetology school and her instructer demonstrated what was refereed to as a "live enzyme". Its actually a deep conditioner for hair made exclusively from a company out of Great Britain. Me and my partner are having trouble finding anyone or and document that explains why this reaction occurs. Please send help or recommend somewhere or someone who can thank-you. A.S.A.P. P.S. The ingredients in the conditioner are: hexamethyldisiloxane dimethicone quaternium-26 olealkonium chloride dimethicone copolyol peg-40 hydrogenated castor oil fragrance polyquarternium-10 glyoxlic acid lauramine oxide benzalkonium chloride ammonium phosphate d&c yellow #10 this is also the order which they are listed
