Maya Avocado Hair Mask

1- Phenoxyethanol + Ethylhexylglycerin (PE/EHG) – Preservatives that prevent microbial growth and keep the formula safe. 

2-Dimethicone 350 – Silicone conditioner that coats hair, reduces frizz, and adds smoothness and shine. 

3-Cyclopentasiloxane (CPS) – Volatile silicone that spreads easily, gives slip, and evaporates leaving softness. 

4- Fragrance (Avocado line) – Provides a pleasant scent and enhances sensory appeal. 

5- Citric acid – pH adjuster that balances acidity, helping close the hair cuticle for smoothness. 

6- Coconut oil – Natural emollient that penetrates hair fibers, reducing protein loss and improving strength. 

7- Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride – Lightweight emollient derived from coconut, adds softness without greasiness. 

8- Amodimethicone Emulsion – Conditioning silicone that deposits selectively on damaged areas, improving manageability. 

9-Polyquaternium-7 (PQ-7) – Cationic polymer that reduces static, improves softness, and enhances conditioning. 

10-Propylene glycol – Humectant that attracts water into hair, maintaining hydration. 

11- Glycerin – Strong humectant that binds water, preventing dryness and brittleness. 

12- BHT – Antioxidant that protects oils and hair from oxidative damage and rancidity. 

13- Sweet Almond Oil (Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis) – Rich emollient with fatty acids, improves shine and elasticity. 

14-Avocado Oil (Persea Gratissima) – Nourishing oil with oleic acid and vitamins, deeply moisturizes and strengthens. 

15-Vitamin E acetate – Antioxidant that protects lipids from oxidation and supports scalp health. 

16- BTMS 80 (Behentrimonium Methosulfate + Cetearyl Alcohol) – Conditioning emulsifier that detangles, softens, and stabilizes the formula. 

17- Cetyl alcohol – Fatty alcohol that thickens the product and adds emollience. 

18- Guar Hydroxypropyltriamonium Chloride – Natural cationic polymer that improves wet combing and reduces static. 

19- Polyquaternium-10 (PQ-10) – Conditioning polymer that strengthens hair, improves film formation, and enhances manageability. 

The Maya Hair Mask works through a multi-layered approach: 

1.Conditioning & Film Formation – Silicones (Dimethicone, Cyclopentasiloxane, Amodimethicone) coat the hair shaft, reducing friction, enhancing shine, and protecting against breakage. 

2.Moisturization & Emollience – Natural oils (Coconut, Sweet Almond, Avocado) and triglycerides penetrate the hair cortex, replenishing lipids and improving elasticity. 

3.Humectancy – Glycerin and Propylene Glycol draw water into the hair fiber, maintaining hydration. 

4.Cationic Conditioning Agents – BTMS-80, PQ-7, PQ-10, and Guar Hydroxypropyltriamonium Chloride bind to negatively charged hair keratin, smoothing cuticles and reducing static. 

 5.Antioxidant Protection – Vitamin E acetate and BHT protect hair and oils from oxidative damage. 

6.pH Regulation & Stability – Citric acid balances pH for scalp comfort and cuticle closure, while preservatives (Phenoxyethanol +Ethylhexylglycerin) ensure microbiological safety.
